This morning Mr. Holiday came out at 10:35am. I normally leave for work at 10:45, but I walked out to the pasture with him so I could show him the leak and ask how to read the water meter.


To my relief it's not what I thought. The dial that I thought was showing hundreds of gallons is actually the "10th" position. So when it goes from 082(1) to 2031 which it did in an 13 day period - I'm used 1210 gallons - which puts me on track for using 2793 gallons a month - or about 3-4,ooo a month . This is what I was averaging before this whole fiasco started. (the higher amount in summer if I had to use non-well water in the garden)



Mr Holiday tightened the nut on the pipe connected to the meter. He said it looks like the leaking is on the company side (though leaking water is an issue no matter who pays for it).



I bade Mr. Holiday goodbye -

Hopefully all will be well from here on out.
