Our friends @TappyTurtle have created a video to walk you through finding and reading your water meter. This is a good way to figure out if you have a leak in or around your home. youtube.com/watch?v=0wZZpYdI…

A simple way to check for leaks is to check your water meter at the beginning and end of a two hour period and avoid using water during this time. If there is a change, you likely have a leak. Fixing leaks can prevent major water loss and can save you money. #fixaleak

Did you know that the average household has leaks that account for nearly 10,000 gallons of water that gets wasted yearly? That’s equal to 238 bathtubs. It's #FixALeakWeek so take some time to find possible leaks in your home and stop wasting #water💧.
