Water bills

[fenicedautun.livejournal.com]

My building got the new water meters about 7 months ago, and (as expected) the next bill showed high usage to "true up" since we'd had estimated readings for the 2 years prior. However, this past bill (100% on the new water meters) shows usage higher than the previous bill (which was the "true up") for all units in the building (for me, it's more than 3 times what my usage was on the estimated bills). Does anybody else have this? Is this normal?

Our gas bills and electric bills were abnormally high, turns out it was because we were paying for utilities that weren't ours! The only reason that I don't know about water bills is because we don't pay them, otherwise I'm sure I'd have experience with that too.

How did you find out that you were paying for utilities that are not yours? I have a sneaking suspicion that I am paying to heat the water in the basement for the washer that the other 3 units use even though I don't use it (there is one in my individual unit).

Basically you have to follow the pipes or wires. Possibly easier when it comes to electricity; make sure everything, I mean everything is turned off in your house that you know is your and see if your meter is still runnin
