(Assuming there are no leaks in your house can cost you money!)
The City would like to encourage all customers to monitor their homes for possible water leaks. Leaks not only waste water; they cost you money!
One of the first indications of a water leak is an unexplained increase in the usage amount and dollar amount on your monthly water bill. If there is an increase in usage that cannot be explained (extra people in the house, lawn watering, faucet left on, etc) there is a possibility that a toilet is leaking, a faucet is dripping, or there is a break in the water line between the meter and the house. Other sources of leaks can be the sprinkler system, the water softener, or the automatic fill on the swimming pool.
First We recommend that you check your toilets first. Our experience shows that most leaks occur in the toilet. A leaking toilet tank can waste up to 200 gallons of water per day. To check for a leaking toilet you will need some food coloring (any color). Flush the toilet. Then put enough coloring in the tank to color the water. Do not flush the toilet for at least an hour. If the water in the bowl of the toilet becomes colored there is a leak that will need to be repaired. Water faucets, inside and outside of the house, can also be leaking. Even the smallest drip can waste up to 20 gallons per day. In most cases, a leaking faucet is caused by a worn washer or “O” ring. Look around the yard. If there is a leak in the water line there will be a spot in the yard that never dries up. This could indicate that the water line below needs to be replaced. If you have a sprinkler system, turn on the system and check each sprinkler head and make sure that it is working properly.
Also trace the sprinkler line to make sure there is not a leak between sprinkler heads. Water softeners and swimming pools with an automatic fill device are other possible sources for leaks. Remember, it is your responsibility to make sure all leaks are repaired in a timely manner. The City is responsible for the main water line and the meter itself. Leaks on the City’s line do not affect the charges on your water bill.
