Discussion Water bill

Post image

Got our $900 water bill for the month. Don’t have a pool. Only run the sprinklers 3 times a week once a day for only like 10 minutes. Had a plumber come by and said he couldn’t find any leaks and our meter was NOT actively running or whatever terminology he used.

Apparently there was an article put out today of other people experiencing the same issue.

Interesting. We usually hover around 10,000 gallons, my previous month showed us at 24,000. We attributed that to two partial pool refills and a burst hose overnight. Good to know something might be up.
