What if the property has more than one source of water?
List what you know: utility water for the home, a private well, a separate irrigation supply or an unknown connection. Do not use one meter reading to draw conclusions about a system that may not pass through that meter.
Describe the address and the supply separately
West and south Fort Pierce is a browsing group for address inquiries, not a water-service boundary. FPUA publishes a water map and official service information. Check the account and the property details rather than assuming that a Fort Pierce postal address identifies the supplier.

Use a simple inventory of water connections
Write down the house, any detached building, outdoor taps and irrigation equipment you know about. Mark uncertain connections as unknown. Do not trace pipes by digging, disconnecting equipment or changing valves. A rough inventory is preparation, not a confirmed diagram.
If a private well is involved, say that when you call. Work on a well, pump, irrigation system or household plumbing may need different acceptance and qualifications. A utility meter cannot show water use from a separate, unmetered supply.
Account for outdoor access
For a concern across a yard or driveway, describe gates, paved areas and any route another owner controls. Agree who can authorize entry before a visit is planned. If excavation is later proposed, ask who will handle the necessary utility notification and private-line locating.
Sunshine 811’s homeowner guidance distinguishes member utility facilities from private facilities. Include private connections in the planning conversation even when utility marks are present.

Tell us which decision is unresolved
You may need to distinguish indoor moisture from an appliance issue, decide whether a floor search is justified, plan a line search toward a detached building or interpret irrigation-related water use. The guides below keep those questions separate so the inspection scope can be specific.
