What should I do if I suspect a water leak on my property? 

Stop the Water Flow:

  • Locate your main water shut off valve:  Typically located in the basement/utility area. 
  • Turn off the water: Close the valve to stop the water flow to your home. 

Check for Leaks:

·         Inspect your water meter:

·         Check for movement: Even if you've turned off all faucets and appliances, the meter should not be moving if there are no leaks. 

·         Look for a low-flow indicator: If the meter continues to move, it could indicate a leak. 

·         Stop and waste: Sometimes it isn’t turned on all the way or off all the way and could be leaking.

·         Look for wet spots:

Check walls, floors, and ceilings for signs of water damage or if leak is outside look for squishy spots in the yard. 

·         Listen for unusual sounds:

Listen for dripping, gurgling, or running water sounds, even when fixtures are off. 

·         Check your toilets:

·         Dye Test: Place a few drops of food coloring in the toilet tank and wait a few minutes. If the color leaks into the bowl, you have a leak. 

·         Listen for a running sound: If you hear a running sound, the toilet may be leaking. 

 

If you can't locate the leak or are unsure of the cause, call a professional plumber. 

Who is responsible for repairing a water or sewer line? 
  • Sewer Lateral Line Responsibility- Lateral lines are those, which extend from the customer's home to the main sewer line. Lateral lines are commonly four inches in diameter. The lateral line and the wye connection at the main sewer line are considered part of the home and is the responsibility of the homeowner. The majority of back-ups occur because the lateral line from the home to the main line becomes plugged or stopped. The stoppage can occur from several different things, but most commonly occur from items being flushed down the toilet or drain or roots that have grown into the lateral line. Many homeowner policies exclude sewer back-ups, homeowners should check with their insurance provider to verify their exact coverage related to lateral back-ups.
  • Sewer Main Line Responsibility- Stansbury Park Improvement District (SPID) owns the main line sewers. The main line sewer is always eight inches in diameter or larger. There are times when a main line sewer can become clogged and result in a back-up into a customer's home. Liability to SPID varies based on the reason of the backup. If a backup has occurred the District's insurance provider will make an investigation into the cause of the backup and determine responsibility based upon pertinent facts.
  • Water Lateral Line Responsibility- The lateral line extending from the customer to the connection on their side of the meter is the responsibility of the customer. Connections for sprinkler systems or otherwise are prohibited from being installed inside the meter box.
  • Water Main Line Responsibility- Stansbury Park Improvement District owns the water mains, and is responsible for the lateral line up to the connection point on the meter.

Low pressure what should I do? 

This sounds like a classic scenario of a pressure regulator issue.  The pressure regulator is located inside the foundation on the water service line.  The regulator a bell-shaped unit.  It has an adjustment set screw (if the screw is turned clockwise "in", the pressure increases) it regulates the pressure from around 75 psi on the main water line in the street at your location and reduces it inside the home to around 50 psi (recommended) to protect indoor appliances.  Over time, the spring inside the regulator becomes stuck, when this happens it restricts water flow through the unit.  You can try the following suggestions to free the spring before replacing the regulator.  

 

1. First, turn a good number of taps on inside the house.  Then get a small hammer and tap/hit several times on the unit to see if the spring will dislodge. If this doesn't work, try step 2.

 

2.  Mark the set screw location with the jam nut. (so, it can be returned to approximately the same spot) Loosen the jam nut and screw the bolt clockwise (increasing the pressure) -all the way in, repeat step 1, as water is running exercise the bolt in and out a several times to place different tensions on the spring.  Return set screw back to original position or somewhere close. It's not that critical or sensitive enough to make a big difference in your pressure to be in the exact place as it was before you started.  If water still isn't flowing after step 1, and 2, then it's probably time to replace the regulator.
