Water leaks can be costly and cause damage.
Leaks can be detected by consumer installed home water leak alarm systems and sensors, and by some retailers.
Consumers serviced by retailers that provide leak detection notifications will receive automatic notifications by text, email, and phone based on:
- Nonstop water usage: when there has not been a break in water usage over a set period of time
- Peak water usage: when water usage in one day is significantly more than the typical range of daily usage
Consumers can contact their water retailer to see what programs and services are offered.
Completing a home energy audit can help detect water leaks.
Consumers can also monitor their water usage by looking at their water bills or by checking their water meters.
