Read the pattern
Compare dates, units, actual or estimated readings, and household conditions. List irrigation, guests, toilets, treatment cycles, appliances, and short no-use observations while leaving the meter untouched.

Move from evidence to a bounded authorization
Hold the safety line
Protect account credentials and avoid an unplanned whole-building shutdown where medical, fire, heating, tenant, or other critical systems depend on water.
Place the Seattle boundary
SPU's conservation material supports leak and bill review, but account interpretation and any adjustment use the utility's current process. Repair does not guarantee a credit or a stated savings amount.
Write the visit
A leak survey should list included fixtures, appliances, private service, irrigation, pressure checks, meter observations, access limits, written findings, and how intermittent use will be handled.
Keep the closing evidence
Save the controlled before-and-after record and compare later bills under similar occupancy and season. Rates and household behavior can change alongside a repair.
