High Quincy Water or Sewer Bill Checklist

A high utility bill can come from water usage, sewer charges, a leak, outdoor watering, a previous unpaid balance, or payment not posting. Before calling, separate the issue into usage, billing, payment and service questions.

Hidden leak Look near water heaters, crawlspaces, basements, soft ground and appliance supply lines.
Payment mismatch Confirm whether your last payment posted to the correct utility account.
Sewer impact Check water and sewer line items separately instead of looking only at the total bill.
Billing period Compare the current bill cycle with the previous month before assuming an error.

  • Account number and service address.
  • Payment confirmation if you recently paid.
