Meters and leaks: What you need to know

About your meter

Your water meter is read monthly. Please help us serve you by keeping the meter box free of plants, shrubs, dirt, and cement. Don’t risk contaminating your water supply by pouring print, cleaning solutions, or other chemicals into the meter box.

Water leaks in your home

Did you know that a silent leak in a toilet can waste more than 40 gallons of water per day? Low water pressure can also be caused by an undetected leak. To detect a leak, you can monitor your meter, use dye tablets to test your toilets, and check your sprinkler system for leaks.

Get more info about your valves, water pressure, and leak adjustments on our Water Leaks page.
