I have checked the water meter at the street for a leak. The water bill has gotten much higher in the last 2 billing cycles compared to last year. Here is my issue, I have 2 shutoff valves, one for the house water and one for the sprinkler system. When I have both valves on the red triangle at the street meter turns quite a bit. When I shut off the sprinkler valve, the red triangle will slow down quite a bit. I assume I have a leak on the sprinkler water line, but cannot see any water spots around the house. Now with the sprinkler valve still shut off, if I turn off the house water valve the red triangle will stop spinning. If I turn the main water valve back on, after about an hour or so, the red triangle will be slowly spinning again. If I turn the main valve off again it will stop, but then eventually start spinning again once I turn it back on. Does this mean I also have a slab leak? I searched the forum but could not find my example.
I appreciate any of the experts advice in advance. Thanks and Happy Holidays.
