What it tells you |
|---|---|---|
Compare history |
Compare current usage to the same months in previous years. |
Seasonal irrigation vs unusual usage. |
Meter test at home |
Write down meter reading, do not use water, check again after a few hours. |
Change in reading means water moved through the meter. |
Triangular leak dial |
With all water off, watch the small triangular dial on the meter. |
Spinning dial means possible leak. |
Toilet test |
Add food coloring to tank; color in bowl within 30 minutes means leak. |
Some toilet leaks are silent and hard to see. |
Faucets / showerheads / hose bibs |
Check dripping fixtures and worn washers/gaskets. |
A dripping fixture can waste 20+ gallons/day. |
Irrigation |
Check before spring/summer startup and after mowing. |
Broken heads and underground irrigation leaks can be expensive. |
Yard / foundation |
Watch for soggy spots, uneven plant growth, or standing water around foundation. |
