Repairs and problems
Water meter moving with everything turned off
What actually fixes it
Point 1
Close the internal stopcock and re-check: continued movement suggests a leak on the supply pipe before the house.
Point 2
If it stops, the leak is inside, and isolating individual branches narrows it down further.

Frequently asked
Could it be the toilet?
Very commonly, a passing flush valve is the classic silent leak.
Who pays for a supply pipe leak?
It depends on where the leak is and the water company's policy, worth asking them before excavating.
