In the garden, check the outside hose bibs or any other above ground water line. Signs of an outside leak include a wet spot, actual flow of water over the ground surface, or green algae growing in the area.
Look for any leaks around the valve on the hose bibs and backflow preventers. Don’t forget to check your in-ground irrigation system often and be sure there are no broken or missing sprinkler heads. Be sure to check the sprinkler system valves for leaks too. Sprinkler heads can lose around 75 liters per minute. That’s about 1135 liters if the zone runs for only 15 minutes. One broken sprinkler head could add substantially to your water bill.

Pay attention to your garden hose. Left unattended, a garden hose can leak out hundreds of liters of water in just one hour. Check all hoses, connectors and spigots regularly to make sure they are in good working order. Replace or repair damaged or leaking hoses, nozzles, spigots and connectors. Outfit your hose with a spray nozzle so water flows only as needed. When finished, turn it off at the tap instead of at the nozzle to avoid leaks.
