Question

Anyone else receive an insane water bill? 4 times what it should be.  

Answer 1

Could also be the fact when they change the meter they do a true water meter read off your old one. So if you haven’t given a reading in a while there’s your jump.  

Answer 2

No, but my electric bill was $10 more than my usual budgeted monthly amount.  

Answer 3

Do you have one of the electric meters? I’m wondering what my bill will be once they add that to ours.

Anyone have a new meter put in? How long was the installation?  

Answer 14

One thing I realized is when our heat is running a lot it also means our humidifier (that’s installed on the furnace) is running a lot.  

Comments

Of course not to the point of using 4x our usual amount of water. If you compare your bills was the period of time different? I feel like the frequency of the water billing seems random, but I haven’t compared recent bills.  

---

@ethnography I totally agree with the random and they made a lot of error on my last year bills.  

Answer 15

I got my bill today. It was actually lower than usual.  

Answer 16

I always pay around $100

Answer 17

New meters doing their job your bill won't go up because of it

Answer 18

Mine wasn’t so bad and we have the new meter but I am worried for the next one.  

Answer 19

Ok, out of curiosity what was your bill? Mine was $136

Comments

@sternberg 335 it should have been 86.  

---

@sternberg and they usually estimate 9000 gallons they double it. No major lifestyle change. Even when we had little ones and ran the sprinkler, filled a pool, it was not that high

---

@snick do you have a toilet that's running?  

---

@mcculley no, I’m super sensitive, we did and it was fixed immediately. They under charged me last year, their mistake and hasn’t been right since

---

@mcculley No toilet running, we checked. thanks!  

Answer 20

New meter just installed on Thursday. will let you know

Comments

@annamarieannamese , hi Karen, how long did it take them to put in new meter? The letter said 30 min. Is that true? Thanks!  

---

Yes, very quick!  

Answer 21

Usually about $105. 3 adults

Answer 22

Usually 100. 00, 2 adults.  

Answer 23

9. 19 per 1000 gallons

Answer 24

Thanks for in input. I’m calling the village on Monday. I thought it may be a conversation fee as we are scheduled for a new meter this week.  

Answer 25

Based on everyone else’s usage, your price this month way way to high. Walk around your house and make sure nothing is leaking, even a little drip could add up. Call the company and talk to them, be nice, explain you’ve had no lifestyle changes and that there has to be something wrong. there’s no reason for that. I hope you get it fixed!  

Answer 26

Does my bill above seen right based on usage? I appreciate this sharing

Comments

@sternberg it looks like you haha the new meter by your bill. is that right? If so yes, I like that they aren’t charging a period in advance.  

---

@snick they changed our meter a couple years ago, not recently.
