You can ask for a Free 20 gallon flow test once a year from the utility.
VCDD Utilities/Amenities
They will first come out and check that the meter isn't running when there is no water activity. If so, you can ask for the 20 gallon test, which checks the accuracy of your meter.
I found I could read the meter values if I cleaned the thing off. I ran each zone for 1 minute and checked the numbers. From there you can calculate how many gallons of water you use each minute in each zone regardless of sprinkler head type. Might help you understand if you have a undetected leak in one of your zones. I found 1 zone that seems
suspicious and will have to check further. Waiting for a 20 gallon flow test right now. They came out within a day to check the meter. Now I am
waiting for a call back to scheduled the flow test.
