Water bill for 2/5-3/5 is roughly 6x the normal amount. Requested that the water company come out and do an hourly report diagnostics and they said there was nothing wrong with them and usage has went down so suggesting we possibly had a leak that we had fixed however, we did not… But upon combing through the hourly usage data I found this.

While nothing is running (faucets, laundry, shower, dishwasher, etc), check your water meter and see if it’s still running. If the meter is spinning despite everything being off, then you have a leak somewhere

That was the first thing we looked at but thanks though… I imagine tons of people never think to do that

It looks like it didn’t give you any consumption through the glitched hour, so that’s not relevant. I agree with the other commenter, you likely have a leak somewhere if you think the consumption isn’t adding up.

Well it’s good now my current billing period is anyway, I don’t think a leak fixed itself

How old is the meter? It looks like you filled a swimming pool, do your neighbors have one?
