High Bill, Meter Reading and Leak Checklist

Monthly reads

Meters are read once per month from outside using a pad connected to the meter.

Billing timing

Bills are processed between the 5th and 8th and due around the 20th-24th.

Usage affects sewer too

Sewer MR and DR charges are calculated on water consumption.

Vacant minimum

Minimum bill continues if meter stays in and water is on at curb box, even with no use.

Check
How to use it
Why it matters
Compare usage to prior month
Use online billing history or current/past bills.
A sudden increase can mean leak, outdoor use, estimated correction or occupancy change.
Check toilets
Use food coloring in toilet tank; if color appears in bowl without flushing, leak is likely.
Toilet leaks can quietly increase water and sewer charges.
Check outdoor taps
Inspect hoses, spigots, irrigation, garden use and wet ground.
Outdoor use can raise graduated water rate and sewer calculation.
Check vacant house status
Ask whether meter is still installed and curb box is on.
Minimum bill continues even when nobody uses water.
Winter risk
Look for frozen meter risk if home is vacant and unheated.
Official Billing page lists a frozen-meter charge and potential water damage risk.
Ask about meter reading
Call 330-823-3126 and ask whether the reading was current or estimated/adjusted.
Useful before assuming the bill is wrong.
High-bill script: “My Alliance account is [account number]. My bill changed from [old amount/usage] to [new amount/usage]. I checked toilets, outdoor taps and vacant-property status. Was this bill based on the current meter read, and can you compare it to prior months?”
