How to check for Leaks?
A. Water leaks are costly and wasteful. Reading your water meter is the best way to determine if you have a water leak. Calculate how much water you have used since your last meter reading by taking your current meter reading and subtracting the previous reading found on your most recent bill. Compare this reading to previous bills to determine if the current reading is consistent with prior readings. You will have to factor in the time period covered by your most current reading. The reading from your bill typically covers a 60-day period. Unusually high readings that are not consistent with any previous water usage history are usually indicative of a water leak. Example: Look at your most recent bill, the reading labeled “Present” will now be the previous read. Let’s say that reading was 3906. Take the current reading from your meter, let’s say it is 3918. Subtract the 3906 from the 3918. The amount of water used since your last reading is 12 (3918 – 3906) hundred cubic feet (ccf) or
