I think my meter is broken and that is why I have high reads at my property?

When meters start to age they run slower – the meters will never run fast and slow and run fast again causing higher usage.  The only way to have higher usage is to have water pulled thru the meter.  How this occurs is by either more consumption or consecutive usage at the property which is causing the higher consumption.  Meters are not connected to electricity, and only the dials move when water is passing through the meter area.
