Check for Leaks

If your bill has a noticeable increase in consumption you cannot account for, you can do the following to check for leaks.

1. Review your usage on EyeOnWater. If you do not already have an account, visit our EyeOnWater page for how to set up a free account.


2. Check your premises for leaks.
Remember, you are responsible for all water passing through your water meter, so repairing leaks on your side of the meter will save you from paying for water you may not be using.

A common cause of a higher-than-normal bill is a leaking toilet. If you suspect your toilet is leaking, you can do an at home test to check before a repair. Add a few drops of food coloring or dye tablets to the tank behind the toilet. Let it sit for around 3 hours without flushing. If you see colored water in the toilet bowl or the water in the tank is now clear, this is an indication you have a toilet leak.


3. Check all faucets, showers, outdoor spigots, and irrigation heads for possible leaks.


4. If you are unable to locate the cause of increased water usage, call a plumber to visit your property and assist in identifying potential causes.‍
