An illustration on the splitter's own pair of bills: most of this jump is more water per day, not the three extra days.
Leak or not, settled in ten minutes
- A meter that keeps moving with every tap and appliance off means water is leaving somewhere.
- Color in the toilet bowl, with no flush, after a few drops in the tank means a worn flapper.
- A faucet dripping once a second can waste more than 3,000 gallons a year (EPA WaterSense).
A short call with the utility
- Whether each read was estimated or actual, since an estimated read can catch up on the next bill.
- The billing days on both bills and the split from step 1.
- What the leak checks showed, and any repair receipt.
