quote:Correct. Which is why I feel extremely confident diagnosing the issue from a thousand miles away. There's just no way a typical homeowner is going to use that much water in a billing cycle .
The original post said "89K gallons over the span of 2 months"
Jefferson Parish water bills cover two months.
89000 / 61 days = 1459 gallons per day.
1459 / 24 = 60.8 gallons per hour
Close enough to 1 gallon per minute.
Unless OP is a descendent of the Vanderbilts and is on the hook for keeping the landscaping at the Biltmore Estate watered

Not yet, but I’m sure it’s coming. Alot of people are getting outrageous and criminal bills. No oversight, no mediation and lip service from council members. Someone somewhere is getting a kickback off of these meters and scam. Download the drop count app. Turn off water and see if meter still running. I’ve seen some say these meters aren’t calibrated properly at installation. They’ve also said you can ask for a photo of your old meter when it was pulled and it shows usage. Not sure what that does, though. We need a class action or everyone to refuse to pay until fixed. Look at Flavor’s Snoballs fb page (in Kenner) to read all about how evil this water company has become and what they did to a disabled shut in.

It won’t in Jefferson Parish. They’ll tell you to pay a plumber to determine if a leak or not. If no leak, you submit the paperwork and they’ll adjust the bill this one time. Issue is, people aren’t finding leaks and water dept say oh well, you have to pay it.

Had the smart meter install a few years ago here & after that everyone's bill was $1k or more. The new system didn't account for decimal placement.
Its probably $140 & 8.9 gallons. Or you got a major leak.

that sounds 99.999999999999999999999% like you've got a break in your water line coming in
The parish is telling every single person this it seems. They get it checked and nothing. Been happening for awhile now.
