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
