GEORGE NEWS - Simple basic checks can be done to ensure that your indoor and outdoor taps as well as your toilet/s are not leaking.
Close all taps on your property and do not flush any toilets.
Take a water meter reading and wait 15 minutes before taking a second reading.
If the units on the water meter have increased with the taps closed and no toilets flushed, it means there is a leak.
One leaking toilet can waste between 2 600 and 13 000 litres of water per month, and one leaking tap can waste between 400 and 2 600 litres of water per month.
