How To Check For Leaks

Read your meter. In Geneva most meters are located inside the home or business. First ensure that all faucets and water using appliances are off, and then take a reading. Be sure to note the position of the dial as well as all numbers shown. Wait at least one hour, or overnight, then read again, if there is a difference then you have water moving through the meter.

Checking For Leaky Toilets

A toilet may be “leaking” and you will never know unless you complete this simple test; Take ordinary food coloring and apply several drops to the water in the tank. DO NOT use for at least one hour, or over night, if there is color in the bowl the toilet is leaking, most likely past the flap. The cost for a toilet repair kit usually does not exceed $25.00.

Also double check all faucets by leaving a cup or bucket under the tap over night. Even a slow drip can waste hundreds of gallons per month. Log onto the American Water Works Association web site at www.awwa.org/waterwiser to read up on water conservation issues and programs or click on the “waterwiser” icon to calculate water loss from a dripping faucet. These leaks can usually be corrected with a ¢25 washer and ten minutes time.

Tips To Conserve Water

  • Take shorter showers.
  • Only do full loads of wash.
  • Run dishwasher when fully loaded.
  • Water your lawn and garden at early AM.
