In the last year a few of our clients have experienced surges in water bills as a result of leaking pipes. Running water can cause serious financial problems for small associations.
If you notice your water bill jumping suddenly, you may need to get a plumber out to check for leaks. If there is no obvious water coming through your walls, it's possible the leak is occurring underground or even at an owner's fixture. The City of Chicago Dept. of Water Management should also be able to tell you if water is running constantly.
