Example of a water meter found in a Highlands Ranch home.

It can be very useful to become familiar with your water use patterns to avoid unnecessary waste. Knowing how quickly water is used between billing periods can help guide you to use water wisely in and around your home.

Reading your water meter on a regular basis can also help you catch water leaks. Is your water use abnormally higher than usual, or do you have a creeping water meter? If the numbers on your water meter continue to move when water is not being used, this is called a creeping meter and is often indicative of a leak or a drip in your home's water system. It is your responsibility to find and repair all leaks and drips.

Most water meters are easily accessible and are located in the basement. If you do not have a basement, it may be located in your garage or crawl space.
