Be A Leak Detective
- Test the supply line by closing the shutoff valve cutting the water supply to the entire house. Wait for a few minutes then look at your water meter. If you see the dial still moving, it’s an indication you have a leak somewhere in the supply line.
- Check toilets by putting a few drops of food coloring in the tank. If you start seeing colored water in the toilet you have a leak.
- Check all the faucets in the house and the outside spigots for any signs of water dripping.
Any leaks you find should be repaired quickly. If you can’t do it yourself then call Dixie for professional help.
