Also, the yard was flooded, you can't really see it, but that whole size of the yard was mush. There's a pretty good slope so it didn't pool up, just ran down the street...and the next street....and the next street till it finally hit a storm drain.
My calculations were actually checked against the meter readings by base CE and they were within 5%. Also, the meter housing is raised so the water wasn't flowing back in. By pushing the bucket in and then letting things stabilize it ensured that water wasn't backflowing. As I said, it jived with the actual meter readings too. Archimedes still works =)
This is the wrong way of judging the volume of water loss.All your doing is pushing the water from the meter box out. The same water you are pushing out is running back in.If you lost 6000 gallons of h2o a day, your yard would be flooded. I work for a water utility, and I know what you were doing is no way to judge water lost. You either judge it by your water usage on your bill and see what the difference is and that's your total.if its after ur meter we see how big the leak is and
That's a noisy neighborhood.

use our formula to see how big the leak is. got to expose leak to get a better picture of water loss.
