		Water Quality Report 2005

	You can use your water meter to detect leaks. Turn off all water fixtures and appliances, and make sure that no one is using water. If the small, red, diamond-shaped indicator on your water meter is moving, you probably have a leak somewhere. It could be a leaky toilet. Note: toilets can waste large amounts of water without being noticed! A one-quarter gallon-per-minute leak will waste 32,400 gallons of water in a three-month residential billing period! To check, drop 12 drops of food coloring into your toilet tank. Do not flush for 30 minutes. If colored water appears in your bowl during that time, you have a leak that should be repaired.
