The water was shut sometime in between however the water was not drained.
Water meter leak indicator not moving.
After triple checking that no water is being used in or around your home observe the sweep hand 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.
My water meter has a small red water flow indicator.
All have separate water meters located on the pavement outside.
Hj az i suppose it is possible but since it is such a rudimentary device it is almost impossible for it to fail.
I turned off the water from the main valve to the house and the meter stops turning.
It moves very slow when all water in the house is not being used.
If it is not moving you must have a leak beyond the internal stopcock therfore turn the stopcock on again and check the meter to see if anything is registering.
As stated before almost all meters have a leak indicator that moves with even he smallest flow.
Most mechanical meters will not register water use below 1 8 to 1 16 gallon per minute.
Even if it did it would not cause the meter to indicate water flow unless something was actually running.
It been 3 months and yesterday i had a plumber check it and open the water flow.
Sometimes it s in the middle of the sweep hand sometimes off to the side.
Observe the water meter readings.
If it is moving you likely have a leak.
It is usually but not always red as indicated in the photos below.
It may be a triangle star wheel or dial.
It is possible to have a small drip leak that is not measured by the meter.
He said there was no leak but he only checked for 10 minutes and then closed the main valve again.
That tells me the leak is in the house not between the meter and the house outside.
The indicator on the meter was not moving.
Water meter show constant usage but no leak but.
