As someone suggested, I shut off all water-consuming devices in the house and went out to check the meter. The triangle was not spinning. But sat there and watched it for a couple of minutes (3 - 5 mins probably). During that time the triangle was stationary...then it made a slow revolution. Then it was stationary again for another minute until it made another slow revolution. Is that normal?
Here are answers to a few other questions that cropped up since I posted last:
No water softener in my house.
Gender make up of the house hold = 3 male (2 children) and 1 adult female
Once the main water line enters the house, everything is exposed. I have an unfinished basement. No water lines under the slab.
