When the water pump turns on by itself.
We started out this week long trip at a state park with just an electric hook-up. Not long after settling in, I hear the water pump kick in, even though no one is using water. My spidey senses alert...

Yeah, I know... I've been surprised by things on the road that the 'driveway' run did not show too over the last couple decades of doing this.
But, just think if you had been hooked up to city water... The toilet valve would have still failed, but other than water flowing from the bowl, no warning..
I hope all the folks that hook up to city water, turn it OFF when they leave the site for an extended period of time for the day (ie: day trip)..
I always turn off my pump before leaving the even an hour or the whole day.
I've seen 2 RV's in the camp ground with water coming out of the corners of the rig in my time... Turned off the city water for them and waited to tell them why I had to do that.. But it was kinda obvious when they got back.
