My water bill in August was $250. I thought I had sprung a leak, but no... they just increased the rate. It's crazy. September was a little less and this month back to $50.

My usual bill is between 60 and 90, depending on what kids are around, and stuff like that. This one is over 700! What was unfortunate was that I didn't hear it anywhere in the house, even though the spigot it was coming from is on my bedroom wall. I would have investigated if I had any clue!

Wow!! I was really lucky that the water dept came out and checked my meter and notified me that there was a leak or water running somewhere. Will they let you make payments on it? Sorry for the mess.

Wow! $700 is a lot for a water bill.

Is your billing cycle monthly?

Mine is every 2 months and includes sewer. It usually is around $100, but they are bumping up rates. The sewer rate is calculated based upon water consumption in the winter.

$700????? UGH!!! That is a horrible discovery.

Mine is water and sewerage combined and it's usually around $60. Not bad considering there are 3 people in the house showering daily, multiple loads of laundry, dishwasher running nightly, and an elderly woman who uses her fair share also.

Oh my! That's a lot! Mine is only about $130 bi-monthly.

I'm surprised they didn't call you to ask about a leak or something!

I think it was read last Wednesday. So they probably should have called last week. So now next month's is going to be high, too. But hopefully not quite so bad!

I've called and left a message (it's a small company, not the city, or anything like that). Waiting to hear from them.
