Let everyone in the home know where to find the valve in case of an emergency. Once you have found the master valve, paint or label it so it is easy to locate. Every home has a master valve that is most likely located near the water meter or where the water supply pipe enters your home. Mast e r Va lves A master water supply valve controls the water supply coming into your home. If the dial has moved, you’ve got a leak. Make certain that no water is being used on the property. You can check for leaks on individually metered residences by using your meter. Utilities with meters bill by the “unit,” normally, such units are measured as 100 cubic feet (748 gallons) or alternatively, 1,000 gallons. One cubic foot equals 7.48 gallons.įor example, if your meter says you used 41 cubic feet in a day, you would multiply 41 by 7.48 to find out that over 306 gallons were used that day. It may be a bit dark inside th4meter box, so bring a flashlight along! 0 The two common meter types Meters measure water either in cubic feet or gallons.
