High Water Bill: Rogers-Specific Checks Before Calling
Activity change
Guests, lawn watering, water play, pool fill, hose left running.
Meter test
Turn off fixtures. Watch meter. Check again after 2 hours.
Toilet dye test
Food coloring in tank. Wait 20 minutes. Color in bowl = leak.
Outside line
Greener/faster-growing yard spot can mean buried lawn leak.
Check | What RWU explains | What to do |
|---|---|---|
Meter movement | If the meter changes when all water is off, a leak may be present. | Wait 2 hours for slower leaks and compare again. |
Responsibility line | RWU repairs leaks between main and meter. Piping after the meter is homeowner/private side. | Call plumber for private-side leaks. |
Toilet leak | 20%-35% of residential toilets may leak to some degree; leaks are often silent. | Check flapper, lift chain, overflow tube, float rod/ballcock. |
Toilet water level | Tank level should be no higher than 1 inch below top of overflow tube. | Adjust float/control parts. |
Slab leak signs | Damp/wet spot, warm floor spot, trickling sound, foundation water, sudden settling. | Call a licensed plumber quickly. |
Hose/spigot leak | Water seeping through a hose connection may need gasket replacement. | Replace rubber hose gasket and tighten connections. |
Meter accuracy | RWU FAQ says water meters under-register over time; they do not over-register. | Look for usage causes or leaks before assuming meter over-read. |
Toilet flapper leak cost | RWU FAQ says a leaking flapper can use up to 20,000 gallons a month. | Repair quickly before another bill cycle. |
Leak Credit, Pool Fill Credit and Landlord Problems
Sewer adjustment
Yard leak water that did not pass through sewer may qualify for a sewer credit. RWU compares leak sewer billing to average normal sewer billing.
Catastrophic water adjustment
Residential customers may qualify if the leak exceeds 50,000 gallons in a month. First 50,000 gallons are billed at current rates; remaining leak amount is billed at lowest tier.
Pool fill
Sewer charges may be reduced once per year after filling a pool. Call after the pool consumption appears on the billing statement.
Tenant issue: RWU says it does not interfere with tenant-landlord issues. For a private line leak a landlord will not fix, RWU FAQ points users to City Hall Risk Reduction at 479-621-1100.
Freeze Protection, Shutoff Valve and Backflow Basics
Cold-weather checklist
- Make sure outdoor meter lids are not broken or missing.
- Use unopened bags of mulch or potting soil as meter-lid insulation.
- Know and label your property shutoff valve.
- Insulate exposed pipes in unheated areas.
- Disconnect and drain garden hoses.
- During extreme cold, let an indoor faucet trickle about pencil-point size.
- Open cabinet doors so warm room air reaches vulnerable pipes.
Backflow / irrigation
- Residential lawn irrigation systems require a backflow preventer under Arkansas plumbing rules.
- Commercial and industrial customers are generally required to have backflow protection.
- Fire sprinkler lines must be protected.
- Backflow devices must be tested within 10 days of initial installation and annually after that.
- Test reports must be submitted to RWU Cross-Connection Control.
