Find a Hidden Water Leak in Your Westminster Home (Water Meter Test)

The water meter is the most reliable way to confirm a hidden leak in a Westminster home. Westminster has used tiered water pricing since 1975, so a leak pushing usage into a higher tier costs significantly more per 1,000 gallons. A leak running January through March can raise your sewer rate for the rest of the year.

1. Turn off every water fixture, appliance, and irrigation controller.
2. Locate your Westminster water meter at the curb and read the current number.
3. Wait at least 2 hours without using any water.
4. Read the meter again and enter both numbers below.
