before being delivered to City residents. Update of the Water Treatment Plant

Leaks
Read Your Meter: Your water meter is located outside near your property line.
It is in a concrete box with a cover. Lift up the cover. You may need to
clean out dirt inside the box. Be sure that none of the water fixtures in
your home are in use. Look at the meter. If the dial is moving at all, water
is running in your home. If that's the case, turn off your toilets one at a
time and check the meter after each turn-off. If a toilet is leaking, this
process will allow you to pinpoint the source. If the dial continues to move
even after all the toilets are off, you should double check your faucets and
hose bibbs. Take a reading before retiring at night. Do not use any water
during the night. Read your meter again in the morning. If the readings
match, there is no leak. Visit about leaks
for more information about finding and correcting leaks.
