Typical water loss in system?

6 years ago

I wanted to check on any potential water loss in my house plumbing system or the pipes to the house while out of town for a few days. I turned off the icemaker in the refrigerator and made sure all three toilets were not running. I photographed the water meter when I left and then four days later when I returned.


About one gallon of water went through the meter in four days, if I am reading the meter correctly. If it is happening at that pace every day, that's 91 gallons a year. Is this anything I should worry about? It's an old house with old plumbing.
