Your city, the county's meter
Greenacres does not run its own water utility. The city's Utilities and Services page lists Palm Beach County Water Utilities for water and sewer service, with customer service using the official contact details. That shapes every leak conversation in Greenacres. The county owns the meter, reads it, bills you and handles problems at or before it. Its maintenance FAQ lists the emergencies it wants reported to its 24-hour line, including exposed water leaks near and around the meter and a broken or missing meter box or lid. The county also offers myAMI, an online tool that shows consumption reports and can send usage alerts. Inside your property line, the plumbing is yours. When a county usage alert or a high bill tells you water is moving, our job is to find where it is going and explain what it will take to fix.
What does the county say causes high bills?
Palm Beach County's billing FAQ suggests reviewing recent activities first. It points out that filling an average swimming pool can take up to 20,000 gallons, and a hose left running on the lawn can use hundreds. If your bill rose significantly and your household patterns did not change, the county says that could indicate a leak, and it names toilets and irrigation systems as the most common culprits.
That matches what we see. So before booking a leak search, think about the pool, any new sod, visiting family, or a softener that has been regenerating more than usual.
Using myAMI to spot overnight flow
If you have signed up for myAMI, look at usage in the early morning hours when nobody is awake. In most homes, those hours should show little or nothing unless irrigation or a pool autofill is scheduled. Steady flow every hour, every night, is the pattern of a leak or a fixture that never shuts off.
A usage alert is a prompt to investigate, not a diagnosis. It cannot tell a toilet flapper from a cracked pipe under the floor. Take a screenshot of the graph before your appointment; it helps us decide where to start.
Leave the meter box alone, and keep it reachable
The county FAQ warns that raising your yard with fill and sod can leave the meter below grade, and you may incur a cost if the county decides your work made the meter inaccessible. For leak checks, read the register only if it is visible without forcing the lid, and report a broken or missing lid to the county hotline instead of fixing it yourself.
If you are planning landscaping, keep the meter box clear and at grade. Before any digging, Florida law requires a call to Sunshine 811 so buried utilities can be marked.
How do you run a quiet-house test?
Turn off every faucet, shower, ice maker, washing machine, irrigation zone and pool autofill. Note the meter reading, wait about two hours without using water, and read it again, as EPA WaterSense recommends. A change means water passed through the meter. It may be a hidden leak, but test the toilets first.
EPA's dye test is simple: a few drops of food coloring in the tank, ten minutes without flushing, then check the bowl for color. A failing flapper is a quick fix, covered on our toilet repair page. If every toilet passes and the irrigation is off, the search moves to the piping.
Irrigation: the county's other usual suspect
Run each zone manually and walk it. Look for broken heads, bubbling ground, and zones that keep running after they should stop. Check the controller for extra start times. A lateral cracked under a hedge or a valve that does not fully close can run for hours every night without anyone seeing it.
If the meter stops moving when the irrigation supply is shut off, the leak is in the sprinkler system. If it keeps moving, the problem is in the house or the service line.
- Meter stops with the irrigation supply valve closed: sprinkler system (a controller set to OFF won't stop a stuck valve).
- Meter stops with water heater inlet closed: hot-water lines.
- Meter moves with house main closed: service line, owner side.
- Water appears but meter is still: drain, roof or condensate.
Where do Greenacres leaks hide indoors?
Greenacres neighborhoods range from the Original Section to Sherwood Forest, Pine Country and Sunland Estates, and homes vary widely in age and construction. We do not assume a cause from the street name. We look for evidence: damp baseboard near a bathroom, a warm patch of tile that could mean a hot-water line in the slab, a ceiling stain, or the sound of water moving in a wall when nothing is on.
If the evidence points to a section of wall, we explain what we want to open and why before cutting. Some leaks are obvious within minutes. Others take more time, and we will tell you so rather than guess.
Renting in Greenacres: who calls whom?
If you rent, the county account may be in your name or the owner's, but the plumbing belongs to the owner. Report running toilets, damp walls and soggy patches of lawn to the owner or manager promptly, with photos and the dates you noticed them. Owners should arrange access for the visit and tell the tenant where the main shutoff is, so anyone in the home can close it in an emergency. Clear notes from both sides make it much easier to decide whether the problem is a fixture, a hidden line or an irrigation zone.
What should you do if water is spraying?
Close your home's main shutoff if you can reach it and it turns by hand. Do not force a seized valve. Stay away from water near outlets, appliances and cords, and out from under any sagging ceiling. Do not handle electrical equipment while standing in water. If water is coming up near the meter, call the county's 24-hour line using the official contact details. Otherwise, contact our team.
Will the county adjust my bill after a leak?
The county's customer service policy chapter covers adjustments, and any leak credit is the county's decision, so we will not promise one. After a repair, ask county customer service what applies to your account and keep a dated invoice describing the leak and the repair. Our leak detection and repair service page explains repair options, and our blog post on leaky pipes and water bills explains why fixing a small leak quickly pays off.
