FAQ
Short answers for search visitors and bill-checking moments.
Should leak cost include sewer charges?
Many bills apply sewer or wastewater charges based on water use, but rules vary. Set sewer charges to zero if your utility excludes the leak volume.
How can I confirm a hidden leak?
Turn off fixtures and appliances that use water, then check whether the meter or leak indicator still moves.
