The City has an emergency plan prepared for immediate implementation if drought conditions should cause a shortage in supply. Q: How could I detect if there is water leak?
Leaks in the house system beyond the meter can lead to high bills. Leaky faucets, continuously running toilets, and broken garden and lawn sprinklers can double the size of your bill. If you suspect that you have a leak in your home’s piping, try this simple leak test: First, turn off all water using outlets, faucets and appliances. Then go outside, locate your meter and remove the water meter box cover. Lift the meter register lid, and observe the test hand. Meter designs vary; look for the lowest order or one cubic foot on the meter dial. If the hand is moving, you have a leak somewhere within your house system. If no dial is moving or you are having trouble determining which dial to watch, you can turn on your hose to see which dial moves. Turn off your hose and then use the dial to help you detect any leaks.
