How to turn the water off in the event of a leak
Bonnie noticed puddling on her property. Upon closer inspection, she discovered
a broken water pipe had leaked gallons of water. Because the customer
is responsible for all water that flows through the meter, this mishap
cost her nearly $750. Check for leaks periodically and learn how to turn
the water off until you can get the leak repaired by yourself or a plumber.
