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.
- Turn off every water fixture, appliance, and irrigation controller.
- Locate your Westminster water meter at the curb and read the current number.
