0.4 Gallons per hour registering on my water meter

November 23rd, 2009

I didn’t turn on any faucets nor flush any toilets and I turned off the ice maker in the refridgerator.

Should my water consumption theoretically be zero gallons in this case?

Yes, but you may have a slow leak somewhere, or a leaky toilet flapper. Sprinkler system valve leaking by?

Try turning off the shutoff valves to the toilet, see if usage goes to zero.

Is the little vane spinning in the water meter (assuming you have a little vane)?
