I live in a house in a Bristol RI, with 3 other roommates who go to RWU.
I recieved the first water bill for the period of something like 36 days. The bill was $56, most of which was the service charge, and the actual water usage amounted to 12 or so dollars.
This time, i recieved a bill for 3 full months, and the bill was $415! It shows gallons used as 56,000! That would mean that each person in my house used 220 gallons of water a day! Is that even possible? At my father's house in CT, he has a 15,000 gallon in ground swimming pool. Its huge!
I called up to make sure they didn't make a miscalculation or something, as i assumed they had read the meter wrong or something. They sent a guy out who assured me that there were no leaks and that this amount of water was normal.
I am at class from 8-12 and go straight to work from 12-8 every day, so i'm not even in the house using water very often. My other 3 roommates do not have jobs and do sit around in the house all day, but even so, isn't this amount of water a little bit obscene?
Any one have any clue?
