Hi everyone, i just got my water bill on a separately metered duplex and it jumped from $115 per side to $230 per side for a total of $460 this bill...Im wondering what could be causing this. Its unlikely both units have running toilets. I just bought the property 6 months ago so this is only my second bill (quarterly billing). Could the water department be playing catchup on my bill? What should i do any thoughts?

It's very likely @Account Closedthat you have a toilet that is running non-stop and the tenant doesn't care enough to tell you. Set up inspections with the tenants and inspect all toilets and sinks to see if they are running/leaking.
