For all you MF owners out there, here's a quick tip I learned today from a veteran PM:

Have your maint. guy (or yourself if you're the maint. guy) write down the water meter reading twice a week and track it over time.

This will allow you to identify a hidden leak fast and get in-front of it before it gets too bad.

For example If the week over week consumption jumps 50% on day and nothing special should have caused it then you need to start looking into it. 

If you wait on the bills to come they are usually 5-7 weeks after a potential leak started (time ti takes the city to calculate the consumption, issue a bill, send it, the PM to look at it etc.) by then, you could be facig a bigger problem not to mention at least 5 weeks worth of over consumption.

Just though I'd share with y'all :-)
