[StBernard] water board craziness

[Westley Annis]

You don't need a meter to test for leaks if you have a neighbor that has 
service anywhere around you.  Just leave the water turned off at the cut off

valve, take a washing machine hose (it has two females) and use it to hook 
your neighbors hose to any one of your hose bibbs and turn on both hose 
bibbs.   This will let water flow into your house and the plumber can check 
for leaks.  I would be a little worried about any plumber that didn't think 
of this.

The meter should be in a line between the cut off valve and the street just 
outside the sidewalk.  If the cover is broken from debris removal it can be 
hard to find the meter with a probe.  If you have to, let them pick up the 
meter, then you will know where the meter was.
