NOTES TO WATER USERS

A meter in working order registers no more water than passes through it. An out of order meter either registers less water than passes through it or stops altogether.

Most leaks are in water closets (toilets) where they are difficult to detect and are usually caused by defective valves and ball cocks. While the Water Department is glad to furnish all reasonable information, it cannot assume responsibility for the condition of pipes and fixtures upon private premises through which water passes after leaving the meter.
