Has Your Water Bill Suddenly Increased?
Opening your water bill and seeing a higher total than expected can be frustrating. Before assuming rates have changed, it's worth checking for hidden water waste around your home.
Here are a few places to start:
✔️ Listen for a running toilet.
✔️ Check under sinks for moisture or water stains.
✔️ Inspect outdoor faucets and hose connections.
✔️ Look for broken sprinkler heads or soggy areas in your yard.
✔️ Turn off all the water in your home and watch your water meter. If it continues to move, you may have a hidden leak.
Small leaks are easy to overlook, but they can add up quickly over time. A few minutes spent investigating today could save you water, money, and a much larger repair down the road.
