Nine out of ten times, the answer is inefficient plumbing.  Toilet leaks cause most high bills.

Contact our business office 24 hours in advance to schedule a final reading.  If the property is going to be vacant, we will need to schedule a day to remove the water meter and shut off the water.   On the scheduled day of these services, someone will need to be at the property to let our employee in. 

Low water pressure can be indicative of several problems or situations.  If water pressure is lower than usual at one source (faucet, tub, hose, etc) but sufficient in the rest of the building,it is safe to assume that the fixture itself and/or the pipe feeding the fixture needs to be repaired or replaced at the property owner’s expense.  It could be something as simple as a clogged faucet screen.  If water pressure is lower than usual over the entire building, this could indicate a water meter problem, aging or undersized plumbing (including the service line), or a significant leak on the service line.  The water department should be contacted at (219)853-6421, should you experience a decrease in water pressure over the entire building.
