How this works
A water meter keeps counting whenever water moves through the service pipe, so it shows a leak that nobody can see. Turn off every faucet, the irrigation, the washer, the dishwasher and the ice maker, read the meter, wait without using any water, then read it again. Any change is water leaving the pipes somewhere.
Slow movement usually points at a toilet or a dripping fixture. Steady movement with no fixture to blame often means a supply pipe leaking under the slab or inside a wall, which is common in slab ranch homes and older copper systems near the coast. The slab leak and pinhole pipe leak pages explain what happens next, and the EPA WaterSense leak guidance covers simple household checks.
