It appears I have a very slow water leak that is locate between the shutoff valve at the water line entrance to the home. I say this because when the main water shutoff at cement foundation of the home is shut off, the water wheel on the water meter quits turning. When the home water shutoff valve is opened the water wheel turns so slow that it needs to be watched for a while before any movement is noticed. I calculated that a point on the wheel moves 90 degrees in a minute or so. When the home shutoff is closed the wheel remains stationary. If my rough estimate is correct, it appears ~2 gallons of water is leaking in a 24 hour period.
My home is built on a slab. The water lines are copper and run under the slab. Tomorrow I plan to disconnect the washer hoses to check for leaks. I will shut off the toilet water. I see no visible signs of water leakage inside. The main shut off appears to be dry, especially checked the home side of the valve. To be safe maybe I should also turn off the the water line vales to all faucets. The hose bibs are dry.
I appreciate any help offered!
Thanks in Advance,
