We are interested in finally getting our feet wet in real estate investing and are looking for a way in!

We don't believe there was a leak because 1) our own investigation--including digging to the pipeline--never found anything; and 2) the pipes are only one feet underground, so if 523K gallons of water was coming out somewhere, we think we would've seen a pool of water or some wetness somewhere on the property (there was never any wetness).My research has determined that it's possible the pipes had air in them and that the meter was reading that.
