To test for a possible leak in your system, make sure all
faucets and water-using appliances, inside and out, are turned
off. Check the position of the hands on the water meter dial, and
record the reading.
On odometer style meters, note the
location of the sweep hand. If your meter has a triangular leak
detector, watch to see whether the triangle is moving.
On circular-read meters, note the
location of the one-cubic foot hand (ten cubic feet hand
for 1” meters).
Without using any water, wait for
approximately 30 minutes, then recheck the meter. If the hand or
the triangle has moved, or if the reading has changed, water is
leaking (or running) somewhere on your property.
If you need assistance to locate your
water meter or test for leaks, please contact the Customer Service
Specialist at Sweetwater Authority at (619) 420-1413.
Free toilet tank leak detector tablets are available upon
