Using your meter to check for leaks
Water meters provide a useful way to test for leaks in your property.
The best time to check for a leak is when you won’t be using water, such as overnight. You shouldn't flush any toilets or use any automated devices such as dishwashers during the time you are testing.
To begin, read your meter and write down all the numbers. After a couple of hours of using no water, read the meter again. If the number has gone up when you haven’t used any water you may have a leaking tap or pipe on your property.
If you think you may have a leak on your property you should contact a plumber to help locate and fix the problem.
