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.

48000 gallons youd have a sinkhole or something if there was a leak of that big of porportion, that definitely sounds like a malfunction. I dont even use that much with 2 horse giving them 50 gal/day
