Similar situation here. We headed north in April and turned water off (domestic). The next bills thru the summer were just as high as Jan thru departure. We had someone check for leaks inside and all was ok.
Called the WD and explained we are not there and the water is turned off. 1st person I spoke to had someone go out and check the meter, and it turned out to be working fine. A day later, someone called and explained the meter had been changed recently because the old one was running "backwards". The WD assumed we were still there and estimated our bill for the spring/summer months. We had to prove we were back up north and they ended up making an adjustment.
