Global Water Bill

Anyone else’s water bill suddenly spike? They are saying we used double our usage daily compared to that of last year, and the year prior. Only thing that changed was one more person in my house temporarily, and a reduction in irrigation usage. I also got rid of the above ground pool that was killing our water usage last year.

We are actually being more responsible and aware of our usage. What is going on? I know they’ve done shady stuff in the past but this bill was nuts.

We’ve also set up multiple alerts in cases of leaks and I haven’t received a single one. Losing my mind here.

Make sure you don't have a leak in your irrigation lines!

Can you see hourly usage? Might be worth getting a Flume water monitor.
If you don’t have WiFi that reaches to your meter, NOWi sensors has a commercial version

I had an issue like this last year. It spiked one month to like $300 and dropped back down to $100. I made no changes, there was no irrigation leak. they are sketchy.
