| High Water Bill Tampa & Clearwater Florida
One of the symptoms of a plumbing leak in the Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater and surrounding area is receiving a high water bill. In some cities or counties, the water department will hang a notice on your door that is typically blue. This is also an indication that you will be receiving a high water bill or that your water usage is above average. If there is no water showing up in your home or yard and you receive an unusually high water bill, you most likely have a slab leak. Slab leaks are plumbing leaks underneath the concrete of your Tampa Bay area home or business. High water bills can be contributed to other things besides slab leaks. A couple of other things that can cause a high water bill would be if you have a sprinkler system tied into city water, or if you have recently filled a swimming pool. The best way to check for symptoms of a high water bill is to read your water meter. Water meters are typically located near the curb of your Tampa, St. Petersburg or Clearwater property.
Will I get a credit on my high water bill
because of a water leak?
In most counties you can take our documentation stating that you had a leak causing your high water bill to the water department. We have talked to several property owners who were able to have their high water bills reduced in the form of a credit on their next water bill. We do not speak on behalf of the city or county where you reside, but we encourage you to approach the water department in the event of a high water bill caused by a water leak.
How Do I know if I have a high water bill?
The typical usage of water per person on a water bill on a monthly basis is 4,000 gallons. This would indicate a property with a washer and dryer and one person taking one shower per day. This number is provided under the assumption there is no sprinkler system on the property. If you have more than one person living in your home, multiply 4,000 by the number of people living there. If the gallons used is significantly higher than the outcome of this formula than you have a high water bill. Most water meters are listed in gallons in the Tampa, St. Petersburg and Clearwater area. High water bills are not uncommon in the Tampa Bay area and the cause of the high water bill can typically be figured out in less than 2 hours.
