We first ask that you check to see if you have any leaks, as LEAKS ARE COSTLY!!  Some tips for finding leaks are as follows:

• Remove the toilet tank cover, add enough food coloring to the tank to give a strong color to the tank water.  Let it stand or sit overnight.  If toilet bowl has turned the color of the food coloring, you have a toilet leak.
• Watch for meter movement.  To test the entire building or house, find the water meter and place a toothpick over the meter pointer; don’t use any water for 15 minutes, after that time, if the pointer has moved, there is a leak somewhere in the house.
• Check to see how often your water softener is kicking in; sometimes storms can mess with the timer.
• Keep an eye on outdoor faucets, it is easy to leave a hose running and not realize it.
