See that little triangle or star on the meter face? That’s your leak alarm. It spins whenever water flows, even a tiny trickle. Turn off every faucet, hose, and appliance in your house—then watch the triangle.
If it’s still moving, you’ve got a leak. A slow drip from a sink can waste 3,000 gallons a year. That’s like flushing a swimming pool down the drain! A toilet leak is even sneakier—you might hear a ghostly hiss or see water wiggling in the bowl.
Don’t panic; just call a plumber. Reading your meter today could save you a shocking bill next month.
