The point to understand
A large bill may reflect an estimate, a longer period or changed demand. Establishing the basis of the bill helps decide whether there is evidence of water loss.
Put it into practice
Collect actual readings and compare the dates. Note changes in occupancy, appliance use or shared connections before describing the concern.
Keep the limits in view
The leak investigation concerns the plumbing. Billing corrections and decisions about allowances belong with the water supplier.
