Helpful Tips for Possible Leaks
- Check for a defect in your private water system. This could be a dripping faucet, running toilet, leak in a water line, etc. To perform this check:
- Record the reading from your water meter.
- Do not use any water for a period of eight (8) hours or more. (It may be less inconvenient if you test overnight).
- Record the reading on your meter at the end of the test period. Compare the two readings. If the readings are different and you did not use any water, a defect, or leak, is indicated.
- Check if a toilet is leaking:
- Drop enough drops of food coloring into the tank, enough to make the water in the tank a really dark color of your choice.
- Let sit for fifteen (15) minutes without flushing.
- If there is a lighter color in the toilet bowl, this is a good indication the toilet is leaking.
- If all else fails please call a plumber. Leaks can be costly.
Water Saving Tips
1. Water your lawn between 4-6 a.m. during the warmer months.
2. Check for irrigation system over-spray. You may need to adjust the sprinkler heads.
3. Mulch trees and plant beds with 2-3" mulch. Plants will need less water.
4. Run full (not partial) laundry & dishwasher loads.
