Possible reasons for high water usage
With our dry spring and with the stay at home order in April-May you may receive an unusually high 2nd quarter water bill. Typically average water use is 4000-5000 gallons a month. Causes for high usage may include:
- Filling or topping off a swimming pool
- Watering the lawn, new grass/sod, trees and plantings
- More people at home during the day due to distant learning and working from home.
Other common factors may include:
- Leaks in the home such as inside/outside faucets, toilets, and irrigation systems
- Water softener may malfunction, check that it is not stuck in the recharge cycle
