You can Monitor Your Meter (Checking for Water Leaks)
- Turn off all faucets in your house and verify that no water is being used.
- Make a note of where the needle is on the glass cover over the water meter register.
- Write down the reading. Don't use any water for at least fifteen minutes.
- After fifteen minutes, check to see if the flow detector needle has moved at all. If it has, then you have a possible leak somewhere.
- If the leak is from the meter to your house, it is your responsibility to repair.
- If you notice a leak at the meter please call our office. Cassatt Water will tell you how to determine if the leak is on your side of the meter box.
