Checking for a leak

• Turn off all faucets inside and outside.
• Check leak indicator (see image).
  • If water is flowing through the meter, it will be measured and displayed in the Gallons Per Minute window in the upper left corner.
  • A small drip may not be detectable or measurable.
• To determine how big the leak is, calculate your water usage.

What if I find a leak?

If the leak is located before the meter, the city is responsible for the repair. This leak will not affect your consumption as it is not running through the meter.

If the leak is located after the meter, the homeowner is responsible for the repair, including all costs associated with the repair. Sometimes, a simple repair can stop a costly leak.
