The Town of Oliver is telling homeowners to check their utility notices for possible leak notifications.

This week, utility notices were sent out and with them leak letters where they apply.

"The Town of Oliver monitors water usage through your meter. If there's a significant increase in your consumption beyond a certain threshold, it suggests there is a possible leak past the meter," reads a town notice.

"Before contacting a plumber, refer to our meter guide for insights on diagnosing the cause of your leak notification."

The municipality recommends acting fast on leak notices to safeguard property.
