My water bill for December was $137.16. That is water part after taking off the amenities and trash. I was there for 1 1/2 weeks alone. Water bill shows I used 16150 gallons of water. I though that was high and asked house watcher to check it out. They said my sprinkler times were messed up and adjusted them. Ok. Feb bill came and it was $120.87 and no one was there at all! Called the water department and they sent someone out right away to shut off the water. Said it was house water not sprinklers. They left water on instead as no abnormal amount showed. They read the meter on March 19th. Between Mar 1st and Mar 15th it showed 1 gallon of water used. There was no water in the house. No leaks. Nothing. Water department has done 4 different checks and everything comes back to someone using my water somehow! No one has been there until this week when my son was there. Water depart checked and it shows no huge amounts this month.

I plan on calling the house watcher to make sure water has been turned off inside the house all the time. I know I shut it off when I left.

On the other hand, the water department has been very good at keeping in contact with me!

Anyone have any ideas or has this happened to anyone else? I find it hard to believe someone is stealing water from me! Any ideas? Thanks!
