    False water meter reading
    Rural water meter is under water part of the time. It runs with all faucets etc turned off but not when water around meter falls below a certain point.

    Call the water company and tell them your complaint. Have them replace the meter if necessary. Let me know what they find. Good luck, Tom

    You should do a few things, have the meter tested and/or replaced, and also be sure and test your lines.
