So I just got a water bill that shows that I used 4 times as much water last month relative to the norm. I checked the meter and it is correct, and also shows that I have been using the normal amount of water for the last days since they read the meter. I checked the hot water heater and there is water on the floor around the bottom. The day before they took the meter reading we had a mains break that shut off the water for the entire day, and which caused a second mains break when it was fixed. Is my hot water heater just leaking? The difference is 300 gallons per day, and it really doesn't look like 300 gallons of leakage around the hot water heater, coupled with the fact that the last 6 days have been the norm of 100 gallons per day, makes me wonder if the mains breakage may have something to do with this.
Any ideas?
