Man. Turn everything off and go look at the meter. Also put your ear to the floor or a pipe with everything definitely off. Then again the city may have screwed up. You aren't dealing with the cream of the talent pool there.
Another thing is you better check a neighbor didn't fill up a pool using your water.

If you're leaking 93,000 gallons you'll know EXACTLY where it's coming from with about 5 minutes of work.

That's an insane amount of water. Good luck

You'd think so, but a plumber and I spent an hour looking and found nothing wet.  We turned off the main to the house and the water meter stopped spinning, so it's somewhere in/under the house.  Leak detector/plumber is coming.

With all your faucets off was the meter spinning like hell?

93,000 gallons is a little over 12,430 cubic feet. A 50X30X8 foot pool is 12,000 cubic feet.

Yep.  Only stopped when the main to the house was shut off.

Do you live on a cement slab?

No, it's a real house.


Just kidding.  I do believe it is, but not sure.  It's an older duplex that was completely remodeled to single family.  One story, almost 4000 sq. ft. so a lot of area to check.

TT - I'll let my neighbor - who owns the Brooklyn Bridge - know you recently came into some ocean front property.  Cool
