If you have one of the more modern meters there will be a small black disc in the centre behind the glass that.
Water meter leak indicator not moving.
Hj az i suppose it is possible but since it is such a rudimentary device it is almost impossible for it to fail.
Most mechanical meters will not register water use below 1 8 to 1 16 gallon per minute.
All have separate water meters located on the pavement outside.
The indicator on the meter was not moving.
Even if it did it would not cause the meter to indicate water flow unless something was actually running.
It may be a triangle star wheel or dial.
Observe the water meter readings.
It is possible to have a small drip leak that is not measured by the meter.
My water meter has a small red water flow indicator.
It been 3 months and yesterday i had a plumber check it and open the water flow.
The water was shut sometime in between however the water was not drained.
Next inspect the low flow indicator if it is moving you have a leak.
If you are not sure if you are looking at the leak indicator and nothing is moving have someone turn on a faucet to see the difference.
It is usually but not always red as indicated in the photos below.
Sometimes it s in the middle of the sweep hand sometimes off to the side.
He said there was no leak but he only checked for 10 minutes and then closed the main valve again.
I turned off the water from the main valve to the house and the meter stops turning.
Water meter show constant usage but no leak but.
If it is moving you likely have a leak.
That tells me the leak is in the house not between the meter and the house outside.
The low flow or leak indicator moves slowly for small leaks and faster for larger ones.
As stated before almost all meters have a leak indicator that moves with even he smallest flow.
