Nothing stopped with the meter at that point I then checked the hose bibs on the exterior of the home and noticed the one on the front had a hose attached to it that was split and spewing water. I advised the homeowner it would be a good idea to winterize his hose bibs so we did, I then check the meter again and there was no water loss whatsoever. I recommend the homeowner buy a new hose before spring because the one he has a split.
