Check for Leaks
Leaks in pipes, fixtures, and appliances can waste water and cost you money. Here are some suggestions for making sure you don't have any leaks.
- Find your water meter. It may be in the basement or wherever the water line enters your home. (Some meters are not accessible to homeowners. Check with DC WASA if you can't find your meter.)
- Read the meter twice. Read it first at night, after the day's water use has ended, and again in the morning, before any water is used.
- Find the difference. Subtract the first from the second reading to tell how much (if any) water leaked out overnight.
- Look for leaks. Find them by checking pipes, hoses and connections. Have leaks repaired quickly.
