Leak detection in Crest at Metro Heights
Crest is a townhome collection within Metro Heights. If a water bill there looks wrong, the first step is checking usage — the quantity of water — rather than the dollar total.
Read usage, not just the total
Find the units of water used and the number of days in the billing period. Divide one by the other and compare with earlier bills. A longer period, an estimated read or a rate change can raise a bill without any change in use.
Newer homes may have short billing histories; compare month to month and think about household changes such as guests, new landscaping or a toilet that refills by itself.
Who supplies and bills your water
Montebello is served by more than one water supplier. Check the name on your bill before calling anyone about the meter. If your townhome's meter arrangement isn't clear, ask the association.
If usage really rose
A safe meter observation with everything off can suggest unexplained use, but it can't locate the leak. Don't delay calling if water is visibly leaking. If your home is still within a builder warranty, read its terms before arranging any opening — this site does not provide or administer builder warranties.
