3 Ways to Check for Water Leaks ***
Water Consumption Inquiries please direct your calls to 610-655-6084.
First, check your water meter. There
is a leak detector dial on the face of the meter,
if the leak detector is moving and there is no water
in the residence that is being used you may have a
leak .
Examine Your Faucets
A leaky faucet could waste a minimum
of 300 gallons per month. Check the faucets in your
kitchen, bathroom, laundry room, and outside. If you
see any of these faucets dripping you may have a leak.
Test Your Toilets
A leaking toilet can waste
a minimum of 600 gallons of water per month. Test
your toilet by lifting the lid of the rear tank and
add a few drops of food coloring. Wait approximately
15-20 minutes before flushing your toilet. Does color
appear in the toilet bowl? If so, water is leaking
from the tank and down the sewer drain. This means
you have a problem and need to have it repaired.
