“So, T-H-A-T-‘S What That Dial Is For!”
Thanks to Minneapolis City plumbers Doug Anderson and Rod Petrik, I now know what that small blue dial on my home’s water meter does.
Make that, my brand new water meter — replaced last week, courtesy of the city, in a speedy 30 minutes by the same gentlemen.
According to Rob and Doug, the smaller blue dial spins, albeit very slowly, when there’s a water leak somewhere in the house.
You still need to locate where it is, though (tip: start by checking to see if any toilets are running; the usual culprit: a bad flapper).
P.S.: an old joke goes, “what’s worse than biting into an apple and finding a worm?” Answer: “finding half a worm.”
