Why is my water bill higher than normal?

If your water bill seems higher than normal, you may have a leaky plumbing fixture. Even a slow faucet drip of 20 drips per minute can waste more than 85 gallons of water each month! If you think you may have a leak, check your plumbing system thoroughly. We have listed several leak detection methods and quick leak fixes but for larger problems you will need to call a plumber.

It may also be helpful to keep a daily or weekly log of your water usage. By keeping track of your indoor and irrigation system usage, you become more informed about where your water and your money are going! For tips on how to conserve water around the house, visit our conservation tips page.
