We just got our water bill for the month after the 5.6 earthquake. It says we used 73,000 gallons of water. Our normal usage (there are two of us) is about 2200 gallons per month. The house is only three years old, so everything is fairly new. No leaks that we are aware of, in fact the meter has gone back to our normal usage in the last couple of weeks.
CNN did a piece on high water bills and new radio read meters in several large cities. The meters were installed improperly in several different ways.
Our septic tank area is as dry as ever. 73,000 gallons would have caused soft wet ground.
Are there any other Bella Vista or Northwest Arkansas residents that have a high water bill starting after November 5, 2011. That is when we had the earthquakes.
