QUICK LINKS

Do you have a high water bill?

High water bills are most often caused by leaks or changes in water use — not billing errors. 

Common causes for high bills include

  • Leaking toilets (the #1 cause of high water bills)
  • Leaks from faucets, irrigation systems, or underground lines
  • Increased household or outdoor water use
  • Seasonal changes
