My wife said they are doing an emergency audit of the whole building to check the water. She thinks the letter may have woke them up to the problem thats its more than a drippy faucet.



I start to really wonder if the meter is calibrated correctly. I'd shut down all water the pull water directly from the meter into gallon jugs looking for an equivalent meter reading. Somehow I think its reading liters or something other than gallons.

Out of curiosity, how is the meter read (manually/electronically). My grandfather was on the local water board for about 30 years. The horror stories I heard from the various meter reading services just jotting down a # rather than actually reading it were plentiful. In those situations, standard protocol was to contact the customer, and bill it out over a very liking period of time (12-24 months). Most places have moved to electronic reading that can be done just by riding down the street in a car equipped with a digital reader.

I think that's the case here. Its wired to outdoor box mounted to the exterior wall.

FWIW - I used to work for Landis & Gyr. They made single phase kilowatt electric meters with radio pick-up. Newer versions had cellular packs to call the reading in and to notify the power company if it lost power.
