    49,000 gallons - where is it???

    Do they have any valves to isolate the leak like shut off one go check to see if the meter quits if not we sometimes have to install them to narrow a leak down.

    49,000 gallons - where is it???

    Is the meter still spinning if not has to be either someone left something on or a toilet hanging which would go through the drain and not show up. A toilet can get the chain hung on the flapper valve and. Lose that much water in about a week depending on the pressure
