Waterleakproblem
- 17 years ago
Jennifer and Jim kept getting huge water bills. They knew
beyond a doubt that the bills weren't representative of their
actual usage, and no matter how they tried to conserve, the high
bills continued. Although they could see nothing wrong, they had
everything checked for leaks or problems: first the water meter,
then outdoor pipes, indoor pipes, underground pipes, faucets,
toilets, washer, ice maker, etc. -- all to no avail. One day Jim
was sick and stayed home in bed, but kept hearing water running
downstairs. He finally tore himself from his sick bed to
investigate, and stumbled onto the cause of such high water bills.
Apparently this was happening all day long when they were not at home. Knowing that few would believe him, he taped a segment of the
'problem' for posterity -- see attached video.
