WATER BILLS

Does your water bill seem high?

Please check for possible leaks around your home. Even small leaks can cause a significant increase in your water bill.

Things to check include:

  • Watch your meter to see if it is spinning when no water is being used
  • Running or leaking toilets, which can use up to 200 gallons per day
  • Leaking water heaters
  • Small drips from faucets or pipes

If you discover a leak, repair it as soon as possible to prevent higher water usage and increased billing.
