My utility bill seems higher than normal. What may be the cause of this?
If you experience a high utility bill, you may want to consider the following:

  • Although we try to read your meter on or about the same day each month, the date of the read may vary. This can cause the number of days your bill covers to vary.


  • Frequent watering of your lawn or flowers


  • Frequent washing of cars at home


  • Leaky faucets


  • An increase in the number of people in your house


  • Plumbing problems


  • A toilet that continues to run after flushing


  • Silent toilet leaks (put food color in the tank, do not flush; if color seeps into the bowl you have a “silent leak”)


  • Broken water lines (check your yard for wet spots)
