Default Can't find the water leak

I wrote a while back about an underground water leak. Well, I have
determined that the water leak is not in the feed line but is within
the structure. I was misled by a main shutoff valve that didn't fully
shut off.

So, back to the problem. I am using 120 gallons a day (5 gallons per
hour) in a house that is unoccupied. I have inspected everywhere.
There are no dripping faucets. All toilets have been shut off. There
is no visible moisture anywhere. This is a 70's "raised ranch" style
house with no crawl space. Once the water main enters from the street,
all piping is within the structure.

So where the heck is it leaking?




Where is the water meter ?
Any chance that a previous owner ran a water line to
a fountain or fish pond or garden faucet - that has been
abandoned & forgotten ?
