Together, we can make every drop count during this drought. Using your water meter to check for leaks, inside and outside the home, is one way you can do your part to use water wisely.
Using your meter to check your home for leaks is easy:
- Turn off all taps and water-using appliances – inside and outside your home.
- Watch the flow register on the face of the meter. The register could look like a gear or a needle depending on the model of meter you have.
- If it keeps turning, you have a leak somewhere in your house.
- Check all water devices, such as your toilet, taps, humidifier, hot water heater, and water softener.
