I want to learn how to check for a water leak. (Finance - General)
When checking for leaks follow these steps: - Turn off all water faucets inside and outside of your home, including washing machine and dish washer. The reading is located under the cover on the meter. Record the reading on your water meter including the red sweep hand. Return overnight, during a time of no known use, to see if the reading has changed. If the meter reading has changed, you may have a leak.
- Meters have a small blue star on the meter face designed to detect even the smallest leaks. If the blue star is moving when you have all the water off inside and outside your home, you may have a leak. Look closely at the blue star; it may be moving very slowly.
The most common source of an unknown leak is a toilet that is running. Even the smallest of leaks could add over $150 to your quarterly water/sewer billing.
