Go to your water meter. Record the time and number. If the meter is turning and there are no fixtures on, then there is a high chance you have a leak. If there is no movement then you will not. We recommend taking readings, 5mins or 10 mins apart or overnight. If it is moving check all fixtures in the house first to see if a toilet is running or hot water system is leaking. Look for any greener patches on lawns and make sure that back hose tap has been turned off!
