You may have a meter leak if standing water is in your water meter box. Consistently saturated soil, standing water and water flow from the water meter are signs of a possible leak at your water meter. View a diagram to help locate your water meter.

1. Is the water leak consistent or intermittent?

• Consistent flow of water - it may be a water meter leak.
• Intermittent flow of water - it may be due to some nearby irrigation run-off or a construction project. Check your property and around the neighborhood for potential sources of water.

2. Locate your water meter outside of your property.
