May want to check for a sprinkler leak or running toilet or something, a bill that high isn't normal. 4951

Best way to check , if you dont already know, is make sure everything is off and then go look at the meter, the little red needle should be completely still, if its moving, even slowly than something is running somewhere. 4951

My bill last month was around $300 because I had the sprinklers run every day.  Since the bill is always behind, I expect this next bill to be high as well, but I haven't run my sprinklers since all this rain. @ZMAN's suggestion about checking for leaks is right on if you don't use sprinklers.  One month, our bill for the house was pretty high.  We checked for leaks and my son then told us the toilet in his bathroom seems to run a little all the time!  A constant slow leak can still run your bill up pretty high.My rank about the COH Water Department (besides the cost):I have been receiving my water bill and paying it electronically for several years.  They revised their website and now I'm getting my bill in the mail again.  I've made sure my account is set to email bills and even called the Water Dept but I still get the  bill in the mail. 4951

Again i ask, what was your usage? If you have a sprinkler system and you ran it every third day and your cycle is an hour, thats what water costs. Your irrigation system will iuse 10-20 gallons per minute. Our july bill was more than that, and i hated it, but i used 33k gallons. 4951

Ours was super high because the floodings a few months back washed mud all over our meter and my hubs had to dig out all the mud and then we got it reduced thankfully. Our toilets were not leaking and no watering of the yard so thankfully it was not our fault. 4951

Channel 2's website has a story about high water bills throughout the city's reaches.  Poor elderly couple in Spring Branch got a bill for over $2,000!!@Retired_Engineer:  I called and asked why we were getting a paper bill.  Lady on the other end said "some people like to see their bill on paper so we send it" . . . 4951

Periodically look at your water meter to make sure it can be read.  I do this often because the meter readers don't have time to clean and read every meter.  This also helps from the "OH NO, what happened!" moments.  From my experience, the person you complain to could care less how much you have to pay.  Watch out for spiders!!! 4951
