The water meter is the most reliable way to confirm a hidden leak before calling anyone. Georgetown uses a five-tier water rate structure, so a leak that pushes monthly usage into a higher tier costs significantly more per 1,000 gallons than baseline use. This tool applies those real local rates to your meter reading.

Georgetown residential sewer is a flat $60.85 per month. It does not change with water usage, so a leak only raises your water bill, never your sewer bill. That is one less cost to worry about while you track down the source.

Common questions about the meter leak test

How do I read my City of Georgetown water meter?

Open the meter box near your curb. The dial shows total gallons or cubic feet used. Note the number, wait 2 hours with no water use, then note it again. A difference means water is leaving the system somewhere between the meter and your fixtures.

Does a leak raise my Georgetown sewer bill?

No. Georgetown residential sewer is a flat monthly charge of $60.85. It does not change with water usage. A hidden leak raises your water bill only, never your sewer bill.

Why is my Georgetown water bill high with no visible leak?

Georgetown uses a tiered rate structure. A leak that pushes monthly usage from Tier 1 ($2.80 per 1,000 gallons) into Tier 2 ($4.20) or Tier 3 ($7.35) significantly raises your cost even if the physical leak seems small. A hidden slab leak, slow toilet flapper, or irrigation break are the most common causes.

Can a slab leak cause a high water bill in Georgetown?

Yes. A slab leak runs continuously because the supply system stays pressurized. Even a moderate slab leak can waste hundreds of gallons per day, pushing usage well into Tier 2 or Tier 3 on Georgetown water rates.
