I feel your pain - you’ll love this - my water meter is on my neighbors property and his is on mine - left hand not knowing what the right hands doing (our houses were built back in the 1980’s - God Bless
I sped up the video and it looked like 2 chubby charlie chaplins running around and the music was perfect. lol. glad you found your meter. Thanks for the chuckle I needed it.
I had the same problem a couple winters ago. about 3 feet of snow outside and my bathroom started spraying water! BAD! My wife and I dug forever in the snow. Water company could not find it. I finally went on google earth and saw its location from summer time. . I now put a car tire over it in winter. I also added a shut off to main water inside the house.
Good thing you posted. I forgot all about PawPaw's grape juice wine fermenting in the closet which should have 4 weeks yesterday. Just siphoned it over to a clean jug and filtered that last part of it. Oh yeah, that ought to go great with my biscuits and gravy this morning.
I worked 16yrs for Darlington county SC water department. You need to look at the meter in the box. Whether its digital or has a analog gauge if you are not using water you shouldn't see the gauge or digital numbers going up. For your bill to go up it has to run through the meter. A leak before the meter is a leak but don't go through the meter. Its a leak and the water department needs to fix it but won't effect your bill. Good to see you video after a while!
The big leak is on them and not near my meter. Apparently if you leave a busted water hose running over 12 hours, your bill goes up. The leak detector was not moving on my meter.
Hey, i just just my first 2 bottles out the other day. Exact recipe, zero bubbles, zero clarity problems and they are GOOD! Pretty cool when the tax man cant even figure out where to tax you from!
If the leak is between the water main and the meter the repair should be on them!! From the meter to your house is on you from what I understand!! Glad ya found it and there is no leak!! I love those hay and straw machines....... here in Virginia that is big buisness. Fascinating to watch those machines work!! One after another!! 😅
Check the meter # on the Lid of the meter with your Bill. The bill should have your meter # on it somewhere. It happens where the city/county gets meter #'s crossed up. It could be a neighbors meter you get the bill for.
Wow, how did man get along before tractors and combine harvesters. Thank a Farmer! I ❤ this time of year.. living out where i do! Observing all the busy busy in the fields!
I'm glad you are healthy and happy may JESUS CHRIST BLESS you & your family with good health and financial blessings and happiness in JESUS CHRIST HOLY NAME AMEN 🙏
My water meter needed replaced after 20 years and some hot young cutie came out to replace it. The vault was buried in front of a landscaped island and she found it in 15 minutes using her metal detector. It just goes to show you that you can't judge a book by It's cover.
Hi Paw paw it’s Jeff from Hershey Pennsylvania. I’m glad to see you back making videos and see you for a while. God bless and many blessings to you and your family. $60 in my development like I said I’m from a town called Lebanon, which is 20 miles east of Hershey not even 20 but my water bill is more than that. My water bill is about 100 and some dollars a month.
You'll have to dig out around that box,gently near the bottom. Was it wet in that housing? Their is a coupling threaded into the meter. They usually leave a couple of rubber o rings hung on a wire. It goes out the same. If it is leaking coming in,its on them. If it's leaking on the out,it's on Papaw. I've done a bit of this work. Usually the water leads directly to the problem. Whowever,if they have housed the line in plastic, it will lie to you. Hope you get it straightened out.
Sorry for a canned response, but I copied this off the internet. They explain it better than I do..... The process involves capturing water consumption data via sensors or transmitters installed in the meters, which then communicate the data to utility companies through various communication networks such as radio frequency, cellular, or satellite links. It is their leak, not mine. I think 12 hours of a busted water hose running was the reason for my triple bill.
Be sure to check your toilet,(I'm sure you have) The floats today are trash, and they will slightly trickle water into the overflow pipe. I have had to replace 2 this last your for my mother.
So good to see you again. I have been tempted to E-mail you but was afraid I would get no response. I hope you didn't have any damage from Hurricane Francine. My question is how were they reading your water meter if the county didn't even know where it was.. Once again great to see you again!!!!!!
Randall all you have to do is leave a comment on my videos. I read and respond daily. . Sorry for a canned response, but I copied this off the internet. They explain it better than I do.....

Your meter box is different than ours. Ours is about 8 inches around and has a radio transmitter on it. So they just drive into our driveway and read the meter without getting out of the truck.
I had a water bill like that. Turned out the water heater (electric) had gone bad with a leak. Also. turned out the guy who built my house (jack leg electrician) built it without a ground rod. But he used the cold water line as a common ground for the box (even though it was itself "ungrounded." ) There were 3 unattached, burnt out water heaters in the crawl space. =The joker could not figure out the problem. He left it for me...
Yep, to get that kind of bump in your water bill, it had to go through the meter. Now if they estimate water consumption based on historical data, that might be a periodic adjustment to get it right and current. But if it’s leaking on their side of the meter, you can bet they’ll be all over the issue! 👍
I have to tell you Paw Paw.........I was wondering bout you. So glad you are OK. Take care my friend. I will be 75 on the 18th. Feeling good for an old man though. Take care
Good to see you PawPaw. Hope to see more. PawPaw we are always hearing about money problems in social security, Medicare, and Medicare, but never about shortages in welfare. Hmmmmmm?
I had a Problem with my meter years ago. It was running water out in the street. I went out a nd Found it. Cut the meter off. Called them. If it is, your side? You will have to take care of it? Nope, It is in the copper line off your meter. It was Thanksgiving. They took care of it. I asked them to come in and eat with Us. They told me thanks. I can't do that. I was a Pipe Fitter For Many years. Been in Your Neck of The Woods Many Times. I hunted over there, many years ago. Take Care..... Enjoy Your Stuff....
I knew that meter had to be out close to the road. It has to be within the easement so they can legally have access to it without the landowner's permission. What if you had a fence there with a no trespassing sign on it? My In-Laws once had a water bill around $100 when it was normally about $30. The problem turned out to be that they had a small shop building way out back that was rarely used, but it had water run to it and a toilet. The float on the toilet had gotten stuck or something happened to it so that it was constantly running water.
Paw Paw, got my water and trash bill was 50.00 and handwritten in red ink was leak. Called city they pumped the pit 3 times. Of course on my side, the pit they put in was on the water line to house with 6 hose clamps. City dug it up and did most all the work for free, but had me call a plumber. The plumber was here the next morning with a little back hoe and could not cut thru tree roots. City had taken out 2 pieces of sidewalk the night before and ended up taking out pit and told plumber what are you going to use to fix it. Plumber said two options and City guy said well “it’s your train Jesse!” Got the bill 1001.88. The joys of home ownership. Tried to pay in cash, hoping it be cheaper, said he like to, but his wife was an accountant and stopped all his play money.
That was quite an adventure, sounds like my luck. Glad you found it. Question how did they know how much water you used if they were not able to read your meter?

That was interesting! I’m wondering how many hero’s you have?? I never saw a working hay rack before. That really was a lot of stuff going on. Good to see you back!!
The water company wanted $60.00 just to come out to locate the water meter? Did I misunderstand you about that? If that is true, that water company is out of their minds! 😡

"If it weren't for something, there'd be nowt" 😅
As my Mama used to say.
Does this mean naught or now? Don't understand but either way makes sense really
@maryperez1235 "nowt" is midlands or northern English for 'nothing', so... yeh, probably a bastardisation of 'naught'
😀
Lucky You, good to see ya again. and your looking good. Good video
Thanks, you too!
Great to see you again PawPaw! I loved watching your videos when I was stuck in Thailand during the cvid crap. I made wine with you! Hehehehe

Suggestion, You can use you're car or whatever as a sound studio and block out the wind. Maybe just stand in the lee of your barn, house, whatever.
I hope it don't snow on you. Could you imagine shoveling snow in that heat? Good to see you Paw Paw.
You gotta stay around to Make America Great Again!
