Like to change a faucet, turned water off at street meter. I am still getting water at house
 
I have a 3 yr old electronic meter. We did have a sprinkler system leak that was fixed in dec 2021 caught it bc high bill on an empty house. All of a sudden in jan/Feb high Bill's again 400-450 per gallons a day used..still vacant. 1300× gallons of water a day used. No running toilets they are cut off. No dripping faucets, no we areas, grass is dead n all crunchy. No wetness in house or water damage. Interesting thing, if I turn the water cutt off on just a little we get water but no noticable movement on the meter, if I turn it on full its 2 gallons a minute. The cities response has been you used the water. So I'm at a lose, can a plumber test the meter?

How to identify dripping tap.
Our kitchen mixer tap has started dripping. Like so much of the plumbing in our almost new build bungalow, it is lacking! The plumber didn't install any isolating cocks in the H&C feed to the tap so how can I identify which of the valves is passing? Shut the whole H&C water system down?

UK Can't get stopcock 100% closed to allow a tap repair
I have a plumber coming tomorrow to change a cartridge on a badly dripping tap on my bathroom mixer unit. There is no separate isolating valve for this tap so I'll have to close the stopcock. I tried closing it today but it won't go absolutely 100% closed and there is still a very slight flow...
