| Usage suddenly increased | Running toilet, irrigation leak, outdoor hose, water heater leak or household change. | Check toilets, faucets, outdoor spigots, irrigation and the portal usage details. |

| Water running outside | Possible public leak, service line issue or private plumbing leak. | Call the after-hours emergency number if urgent or report to Utility Billing during business hours. |
