Why is my water bill so high?

Multiple factors can lead to an elevated water bill. The utility bill you receive is split into different sections. Water is billed from what is captured through your services water meter (billed at the nearest 100 cubic feet). Wastewater is billed based on the amount of water that went through the meter and then presumably down a connected drain. A leaking toilet or pipe fitting are among the most common reasons why a water bill will rise.
