The #1 waste of water in this community is accidental leaking during opening and closing as you or your guests arrive or depart. The lost water can be over 100 CCF, 75,000 gallons, when the house valve is turned open but the drain is not turned closed. Please remember the 2 step process for turning on and shutting off water at your house valves. VALVE ON with DRAIN CLOSED and VALVE OFF with DRAIN OPEN be sure your guests have an easy to follow set of directions. We can catch a gushing house through a meter reading but that is usually 24 hours and 100 CCF too late!
