Task 1: Check your water meter regularly to detect any unusual usage or leaks.
- Check the water meter every three months to ensure it's accurate and functioning properly.
- Look for any signs of wear and tear on the meter, such as rust or mineral buildup, which can indicate a larger issue.
Task 2: Inspect your pipes and fixtures regularly to identify leaks and damage.
- Use a pipe wrench or pliers to tighten loose connections, such as faucet handles or shower heads.
- Rinse the system thoroughly with water to detect any remaining mineral deposits or debris.
- Consider replacing old or damaged fixtures, such as faucets or toilets, which may be causing leaks or damage.
