High GP Water Bill: H2Know, Leak Adjustment and Meter Review

📈

Use H2Know

H2Know lets customers see actual water use online 24/7, receive high-use alerts, identify suspected leaks and monitor irrigation patterns.

💧

Leak adjustment condition

The City says the leak must be repaired, and the customer must register for H2Know and activate leak alerts before a leak adjustment can be considered.

📟

Meter accuracy test

A meter accuracy test is listed at $125, so first check usage, leaks and H2Know patterns before requesting formal testing.

High-bill check
What to do
Why it matters
Portal / H2Know usage
Review water-use history, high-use alerts and irrigation patterns.
Precise meter readings can show whether usage was continuous, seasonal or sudden.
Prior balance and fees
Check late payment, door tag, shutoff late payment, same-day service call, multiple trip, garbage and stormwater line items.
The total bill may rise even if water usage is not the only cause.
Toilet leak
Dye-test toilets and listen for refilling when nobody flushes.
A silent toilet leak can run continuously and push water/wastewater usage up.
Irrigation settings
Check controller days, run times, rain sensor, broken heads, stuck valves and runoff.
Stage 1 restrictions also limit sprinkler days and hours.
Private service line
Turn off all water use and check whether the meter continues moving if safely accessible.
Movement with all fixtures off suggests a private-side leak.
Water heater / appliances
Inspect dishwasher, washer, ice maker, outside faucets, hot-water heater relief valve and sprinkler system.
The City lists these as commonly overlooked open-line sources for service activation.
Leak adjustment
Repair the leak first, register for H2Know, activate leak alerts and submit Request Leak Adjustment form.
The City’s FAQ says those steps are required before consideration.
Billing issue
Call 972-237-8200 or email waterbilling@gptx.org.
Use billing staff for bill and account review; use dispatch/emergency line for active leaks.
High-bill script: “My Grand Prairie water account [account number] increased from [normal usage] to [new usage]. I checked H2Know, toilets, irrigation, outside faucets, water heater, appliances and the private service line. I repaired [issue] on [date]. Can you explain whether I qualify for a leak adjustment and what amount must be paid now?”
