Our water usage has tripled in the last year the water district says we may have a leak but no faucets drip, no toilets seem to run, we don't see anyleaks and have not changed our water useage habits. How can I test to find out if we have a leak underground that we can't see???

Go out to meter and see if it is moving when no watre is being used in the house, if you see it moving and can't finds leaks under house of water surfacing ontop of graound somewhere, then suspect the leak to be on the mainwater service, and you may need to have a new water service put in ti fix the unknown leak.
The reason you may not see the leak under ground is your ground could have good soil and the water goes into the ground long before you see it surface anywhere on top of it.
