    Water leak at end of driveway
    I have water coming out of the main shut off valve box, located at the end of my driveway (the box is located in the slab with the cover level with the driveway). How do I know if the leak is at the box or somewhere between the box and my inside meter?

    Hi Steve

    You would get the town/city out to shut the shutoff valve off. If water continued to leak after that the problem is at the valve box or behind it at the town/city side... ;)

    Care to discuss more? Let me know, OK?

    Thanks. Water company is on the way. Is there a way for me to check if it is on my side before they get here?
    I have checked my inside meter and there is no movement when everything in house is shut off. No leaks or water marks anywhere inside or on length of driveway before box.

    No way that I can think of... at least not without getting super creative and getting an air compressor and some fittings together.

    Let us know what you find when they get there, OK?

    Leak at curb meter box. Had to excavate bottom slab of driveway to access & repair. Water company to replace slab.
