What a Westy Water Possible-Leak Alert Means
Westy Water provides hourly, daily, and monthly use information and can send possible-leak alerts. The City explains that continuous use for 24 hours may trigger an alert, and that toilets and sprinkler systems are common unknown-use sources. Check those systems and review the hourly pattern before assuming a buried line has failed.
A portal alert is evidence of flow, not a location. Westminster also publishes frozen-pipe, meter, and shutoff guidance on its Frozen Pipes and Leaks page. Suspected City-side or meter-pit issues should be reported to Utilities before private-system testing begins.
Westminster Leak Detection Guided by Usage Patterns

Residential Leak Detection
If toilets, appliances, and sprinklers are isolated but use continues, the evidence may point to concealed building plumbing, the customer-owned service line, or a slab-related system. The remaining symptoms determine whether acoustic, pressure, thermal, moisture, tracer-gas, or line-tracing methods are useful.

Commercial Leak Detection
Multifamily buildings, HOAs, offices, retail spaces, and other managed properties may combine shared meters, common irrigation, private mains, and multiple tenant branches. Hourly use data and a system map can help identify the network responsible before testing is expanded.

Plumbing Smoke Testing
For a recurring sewer odor, controlled smoke testing can help reveal open cleanouts, failed seals, vent defects, and concealed drain connections. Camera inspection may be used when accessible private piping needs visual documentation.
Public System or Customer-Side Westminster Leak?
Westminster’s utility rules state that City ownership ends at the terminal end downstream of the meter; private service lines are maintained by the customer. Confirm the meter and boundary for the address when the leak may be near the public/private transition.
Historic Westminster near 72nd Avenue and Lowell, older southern housing, and newer northern managed properties can differ in layout and access. The City’s service-line inventory should not be used to assume every older home has a particular pipe material. Testing is based on the actual system, not the neighborhood label.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Westy Water possible-leak alert mean?
The City says continuous use for 24 hours may trigger an alert. It is a signal to check known demands—especially toilets and sprinklers—not proof of a specific broken pipe or location.
How can hourly Westy Water usage help narrow a leak?
The hourly pattern can show when use starts, stops, or continues through periods of no expected demand. Comparing that pattern with fixtures, irrigation, and occupancy helps decide which system to isolate next.
Who is responsible for piping downstream of the Westminster meter?
Westminster’s utility rules state that City ownership ends at the terminal end downstream of the meter. Customer-side service lines and building plumbing are maintained by the property owner.
Can I use Westy Water to verify that a repaired leak stopped?
Yes. After repair, review hourly and daily use to confirm that the continuous pattern ended. If seeking a City leak credit, follow Westminster’s current eligibility and documentation requirements.
