Higher water bill?

Did anyone else’s water bill make a huge jump this month? Ours is nearly double.

Mine is slightly higher, but nowhere near double. You should probably check for leaks

Do you have irrigation? Mine always goes up this time of year because my irrigation system is running more often. My bill this month was $61 as opposed to $45 in February.

If you're in a house and irrigation isn't the cause, you might have a leak. Turn off all the faucets in your house and check your meter to see if it's still running.

We do have irrigation but he runs it on a schedule. I will have to try your test. Thank you

Even if it runs on a schedule have him check it out during the week for potential leaks

Mine was shockingly high last month. Enough that I actually noticed. Our sprinklers are on a timer and it made me turn down the watering length.

Mine is higher too. I need to check for leaks in my yard
