INCREASED water bill - should I be alarmed?

[Edita D.]

Hey guys!

We have a 4-plex in San Diego, CA, and the water bill went up from 250$ (60 day billing cycle) to around 400$... I am concerned that there could be some water leakage that can damage my property. What signs should I look for?

I DO have to mention the increase in water bill occurred right after a new tenant moved in. When we visited the property, we noticed the new tenant had a lot of green grass and taken care of plants in his yard. Could it be that the tenant is using up a lot of water?

Thanks,

Edita
