The department asked for help in a Facebook post on February 23 saying crews have been working diligently but unsuccessfully to find the leak.
They believe the leak is happening on a main line or in an unmetered area because individual customer meters are not showing any unusual activity.
They said residents should be on the lookout for:
- Standing or flowing water in the street, on sidewalks or in yards
- Low water pressure in homes or sudden change in home water pressure
- Discolored or “dirty” water
- The sound of running water near vacant buildings or properties
Residents can report any of these findings to the Gloversville Water Department at 518-773-4520 or email Superintendent Eric Lentini at elentini@gloversvillewater.com.
