|---|---|---|

What to Check If Your Troutdale Water Bill Looks Too High
A high bill can come from irrigation, seasonal use, a running toilet, outdoor hose use, a hidden leak, a previous balance or autopay not running after move-out or account changes.
| High-bill clue | Possible cause | First action |
|---|---|---|
| Water usage increased | Lawn watering, garden watering, hose use or household change. | Compare current usage with prior months. |
| Usage continues when no one is using water | Toilet leak, fixture leak or underground leak. | Turn off fixtures and check meter movement if accessible. |
| Bill continues after move-out | Stop service not submitted or autopay not disabled. | Submit Stop Service and check Xpress Bill Pay autopay settings. |
| Payment not reflected | Processing delay, wrong account number or account issue. | Save confirmation and call 503-674-7232 for billing review. |
