Have you noticed a significant increase in your water usage, which has caused an increase in your water bill? This could be attributed to a number of items such as:
How to Find a Water Leak in a House Even the smallest leaks in your house can add up to thousands of gallons of wasted water and potentially hundreds or thousands of dollars per year on your water bill. Unfortunately leaks are not always obvious and can go a long time before being noticed. You can do some basic tests on your own before calling in the professionals to check for leaks in your house.
1.Turn off all fixtures and make sure that no appliances that use water are running. 2. Locate the water meter inside your home. Write down the meter numbers. Check the meter in one to two hours. If the numbers have changed, there is a leak somewhere in the house. 3. Check the faucets of sinks and bathtubs. Water usually leaks from the spout and is easily detectable. But it may also be leaking from on and off handles or loose fittings. You may have to tighten loose fittings about a quarter of a turn or replace parts if the leak persists. 4. If your toilet has condensation on the outside of the tank, this is a good indication your toilet is running. 5. Check the toilet by dropping a few drops of food coloring in the tank. After ten minutes if the food coloring shows up in the bowl, the toilet is leaking. Toilets are the most common source of leaks in the house. 6. Check the water supply lines on appliances that use water. Sometimes a leaking appliance is obvious, leaving a puddle of water on the floor in front of the appliance. Other times the leak is small and stays hidden under the appliance where you may not see it. 7. Outside spigots or hoses. Make sure outside spigots are turned off when not in use even when connected to a hose. 8. Water softeners or similar water filtering/conditioning systems. If you have any of these devices make sure they are hooked up and operating properly. Certain systems can waste many gallons of water if they are not operating
If you have a water or sewer emergency after hours, call (973) 774-3689.
A water meter can be defective. A water meter has an internal disc or paddles that move when water passes through them. Water then moves the wheels or the register to record the water that passes through it. When the disc or paddles wear down, due to environment or from a defect inside of the meter, it will not register correctly. Since we use meters that record only the water that passes through them, the defect will actually cause a lower water bill. A water meter will never record usage unless water passes through it. A meter can never run fast.
The Water & Sewer billing office is open Monday thru Friday from 9am to 4pm. If you think your bill might be incorrect please feel free to contact us at 845-355-5700, Option 5. In many cases excessive water consumption can be attributed to a leak. Please click the link below for possible causes of high usage and tips on how to determine if you have a leak within your home.
How to Find Water Leaks in a House
The Water Department is responsible for the water main, main valves and Fire Hydrants. The service line which starts at the Water Main and goes to the house is the customer’s responsibility, even if the leak is in the curb valve but is on the service line. If you have a leak on the service line, you will have to contact a plumber for repairs.
