Water Usage

My water consumption was high. How could I use this much water?

  • You may have a leak. View Water Saving Tips page to learn more.
  • You may be engaging in high usage activities such as: watering lawns, filling pools or hot tubs, washing vehicles.
  • You may have inefficient appliances. 

I moved into a smaller house, but my invoice stayed the same. Why didn’t it go down?

  • The size of a house does not necessarily impact water consumption. Unless the number of users within your household increased, or you are watering a larger lawn, a larger house should not result in a higher water bill.  

I have a smaller family than my neighbor, but my invoice is higher. Why isn’t it lower?

  • Several factors impact usage beyond the number of users, such as: amount of showers, length of showers, type of appliances, lawn watering patterns. 

I was told I have a leak, but I do not see any puddles. Where is the water going?

  • Leaks typically occur within the closed plumbing system; this means that the leaking water is going down the pipes. View Water Saving Tips page to learn more.
