Check for a Water Leak

How to test for a main water line leak:

Step #1: Make sure no water is being used inside or outside your home (turn off all faucets).

Step #2: Locate your water meter (usually found in a box in front of your house near the street/sidewalk).

Step #3: Read your water meter. If you have a digital water meter, shine a light on the flow screen and see if it is flashing a number above zero. If it is, that means you have a leak. If you have an analog water meter, look for a small red triangular dial or a small silver wheel. If either one is moving, that indicates you have a leak.
