Our water bill this month is 30% higher than last month. Wonder if it's all the extra hand washing?

2. Well aren't you usually out of your home

most of the day? All utility bills will be up if families are all at home.

8. Actually we've both been retired for years. But we go out a lot less, obviously....

We bought a new car for my wife in mid-February, more than two months ago. We've driven it less than 400 miles.

3. If you are home more often than in the past, maybe 7 days/wk, then toilet flushing will do it. nt

4. Also showers every time people enter the house, extra cleaning, and extra clothes washing

That many describe they are doing.

9. Look at your usage.

When they went to the new computer read meters, mine used to spikes about once a year. I'd have to call and fuss and ask for a physical check. Every single time they had to credit back.

10. It might be a mistake. Call them

to come back out and recheck the meter.
