My duplex in Akron has crazy water bills

[Sam Stout]

Hey there,

    I have a duplex in the Highland square area and the water bills are confusing me.  One side of the house is 80-100 per month, and the other side is 250/mo. but most of the charges are for Akron Waterways Renewed.  Does anyone else have such high water bills??  Thanks

One of the biggest culprits of water usage is a running toilet.  If you have old toilets that always seem to have issues, you might want to swap them out with a water saving model.  A lot of communities offer rebates when you install them and some of those rebates actually will pay for the upgrade.  Home Depot usually has a sell on such toilets for about a $100 per toilet and usually you can find a handyman to install for between 50-75 dollars.  Good Luck.
