It sure would be nice to see the bill. Could be any number of issues but without seeing the actual period of time on the bill, readings on the bill, and itemized numbers on the bill we don't really know enough to help.

9 gals/month is unreasonable but the meter could be broken (happened to me)

$50 for 9 gals (or 9,000 gals or two month's of bas rate or ...) is unreasonable.

$50 for the total utility bill doesn't make sense because there should be $150+ for amenities.

Something isn't right but without seeing the numbers on the bill it's impossible to figure out what.
