Tom,

A couple of things you can do.

1. Look for the water meter cover in your yard. If it is a newer home, it will be flat in the yard and will be a green plastic rectangle. Lift it up using a screwdriver and pliers. Be careful not to break any wires. There on the water meter is a little triangle. When there is no water going through your meter, the triangle is not moving. Where water is flowing, the triangle goes around. Make sure you have no water turned on in the house. If the triangle is turning around, you have a leak.

2. If you do not feel comfortable doing this yourself, call the VCDD Utilities at 748-0000 and ask them to send a technician to conduct a flow test. It is a free service.

Hope this is helpful to you.
