Wasting water? Me? How's this for a water bill?
I got to personally contribute to the earths diminishing resources these last few months
 Got my water bill....381,000 gallons  Bill was $1,150, not bad really since that includes sewer costs. We have chiller for our air system and it malfunctioned (never shut off), can't believe none of us noticed. Our normal bill is less than $100. Live and learn.

Len,
You guys really used that much water??? My God... thats enough for a small town! I had a bill that was 2000 gallons once and found a potty valve leaking. Fixed it and back down where it should be... Glad you are up North where there is a lot of snow and rain! JoeA

Yep, works out to about 3 gallons a minute 24/7 for three months. Crazy I know.

Joe, this is a my business. We have a huge air compressor and it has a water chiller to reduce condensation in the system. Anyway it was stuck wide open and it exits out the side of the building into a sewer drain.
