Delivering water to our taps costs millions of dollars and is increasing.
Demand for water in the summer is out pacing our current supply.

And it is usually the "least cost" alternative to a new water supply because of costs of building and maintaining new infrastructure.

Try to determine if it is an indoor or outdoor leak. The City Water Department can help determine the extent of the leak.

Your bill will reflect the differences as you look at consumption rates for prior year and current year (lower left hand corner).
