High water bills are everywhere

If your water Bill has gone up in the last few weeks you might need to do this test to see
if your water line is leaking. First turn off the main shut off valve inside your house, its usually
next to the water heater. Then go down to the street and find your water meter. It will be a rusted oval lid. Open it  and inside you will see a meter with a glass dial with numbers and a clock arm. Look for a little triangle, it will be red, black or white. If it is moving then you know you have a leak between the meter and the gate valve inside the house. Then you would need to have your water line repaired. If it only moves when you open the valve back  then you should start by checking all of your toilets until you find which one is running. Remember a running
toilet could bump your water bill up a $100.00 easy. This will only take about 20 minutes of
 your time and could save you MONEY.
