We are entirely confused by our current situation and I was happy to find this forum to possibly gain some insight about this situation.
Our October water usage bill arrived last weekend. It was a drastic increase. Here is our four month usage record:
August: 4490 gal
September: 3634 gal
October: 12,413 gal
November: *I do not know exact total, but the water company has told me it was over 16,000 gal
The water company's report shows no leaking or continual running toilet. They have tested our meter. As of right now, the water company monitored our usage from Dec. 1-2 and we have done it ourselves from Dec 2-3 and we seem to be back to our normal average.
Right now, the water company maintains it had to be an undetectable issue with a toilet. I assume we would have heard or seen the toilet running. Also, I use the blue tablets in the tanks and if it was continually running, I assume those would not last as long as normal.
I was really hoping someone in the know could shed some light on this as we are so confused. Here are some other facts that may or may not be prudent:
Nobody is stealing from our outside faucet. I work from home, and can hear it turned on. Plus, we don't have any neighbors that would do that anyway.
We do not own, we lease the home.
We do not have a pool or water our grass.
We are a family of three.
Thank you in advance for reading.
A technician came yesterday to test the meter and could not detect any issues with it.
