Mains Water Leaks
- Turn off all water: inside and outside your home.
- Locate your water meter, usually outside near your property line.
- Check the flow indicator: on the meter. This is often a red or white triangle on the dial. If it’s still moving, there is water being used, indicating a leak.
- Turn off the internal stopcock: or water shutoff valve to your home.
- Check the meter again . If the flow indicator stops moving, the leak is within your property’s boundary and possibly inside your house.
If the meter is still moving after turning off the internal stopcock, the leak is likely in your external main supply pipe, between the meter and the internal stopcock.
