Meter reread

Customer-requested reread may cost $75 in city if the initial reading is correct.

Leak check first

Check toilets, irrigation zones, hose bibs, pool fill and private service line before requesting fee-based field work.

High-bill clue
Fast check
What to ask Boca Water Billing
Usage chart suddenly jumps
Compare the same billing period last year and last two bimonthly bills.
Was the read actual, estimated, corrected or affected by meter access?
Toilet leak
Use dye in toilet tank and see whether color appears in bowl without flushing.
Does the consumption pattern look like continuous flow?
Irrigation or pool issue
Check sprinkler zones, stuck valves, hose bibs, pool auto-fill and watering schedule.
Did high use fall into the second or third water tier?
Private service-line leak
Turn off all fixtures and look for meter movement if safe and accessible.
Is leak on customer side or City side of meter?
Fixed fees seem high
Separate customer charge, capacity charge, sewer charge and garbage.
Which lines are fixed and which are based on consumption?
Meter number or address mismatch
Compare bill, meter location, unit number and service address.
Can a customer-requested investigation apply, and will there be a fee?
Paperless or new portal confusion
Check whether account number changed and whether bank bill pay was updated.
Did payment post to the new customer-account number?
Outside-city charge confusion
Look for outside-city service or surcharge indicators.
Is the account inside City limits or outside City utility service area?
Garbage collection increased
Check if the bimonthly bill includes the October 1, 2025 sanitation rate line.
Is the increase water usage or garbage/sanitation?
High-bill script: “My City of Boca Raton utility account [customer-account number] at [address] increased from [normal amount/usage] to [new amount/usage]. I checked toilets, irrigation, pool fill, hose bibs, service line, fixed charges and payment history. Can you review the meter read and explain which bill line changed?”
