Carl Spiva: City helped find a tiny water-wasting leak

A few days ago, a person from the Modesto Water Department called at my home to tell me that monitoring of my meter showed a constant flow that suggested a small leak might be present. Sure enough, a search revealed a small, steady leak in our toilet!

The person was very helpful in suggesting how to locate it and how to fix it. Kudos to our Water Department!

Carl Spiva, Modesto
