Obviously, this video wasn't filmed in the north, the meter would not be anywhere other than someplace that is heated. Good info!

I love how they say .. ITS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. How do we tell of theres a water leak. The only way we can tell if we have a high water bill. Its their responsibility to tell us to notify us as soon as possible it theirs a potential water leak. Its not our fault that cause the leak but its our responsibility to fix it.

Well you can also do checks on your pipes to make sure there is no leak? You don’t have to wait for a high bill

why would you check your pipes if your bill is not high or unordinary until you receive your bill you would not suspect an issue until you opened your bill obviously unless you had low pressure or an obvious leak but not one underground between your watermain and house you would never know

@@tdizzle2179 you check it for the exact same reason you should check your cars fluids weekly; To prevent problems. Also, you would know if you check the meter and see it spinning when there should be no water running. You don’t have to wait until it explodes to stay on top of your houses maintenance.

What do you do if water is coming out of an underground squirrel tunnel in the middle of my back yard and the red triangle wheel is not spinning on my water meter and the numbers don't change either unless I turn on the water hose?

What happens if it goes clockwise?

@yacawntmiss 5 жыл бұрын

What is occuring if the leak indicator is still then occillates slightly in either direction?

Water moving back into the city. Lots of houses have one way valves so that no water from a homeowners property can cross contaminate city water. That being said many houses do not have these one way valves. This also depends on city ordinances or code whether or not its required

What good does it take an accurate meter readings when the water company charges you for 5000 gallons a month whether you use it or not.

@alvandavis3909 Жыл бұрын

Some places have a minimum usage fee. That means you can use up to the 5000 gallons without any additional cost. However, at 5001 gallons they may begin charging a small charge per gallon (where I live it is about 1 cent per gallon). It is the same way power charges customers also.

How do you know whether it's from the house or whether it's leaking at the my city where I'm at are corrupt as hell. They were supposed to come out and change the meter but the way that old meter was put in as he says in the 60s it was it wasn't put in exactly the way it was put in now I was supposed to get a new meter but on which side is responsible for a leak happening when they do do that is up in the air and he would rather blame me confrontational road manager that actually came to my house one time and tried to extort money in cash for some limbs at the road they picked up everybody else's but mine and wanted to extort 148.00 cash. And when they turned the what I felt was the water gauge the one where you turn the water off and on it took them great effort to turn that bolt and I had no problem with water flow so when they did that they said they fixed the problem I do not believe them.😢 I am disabled and I do not need it's a continuous thing.

looks like you subtract the previous reading from the most current reading and round down to the closest 100 cu ft

Shut off the main water valve and see if the dial moves
