Hello; My water company allows the use of 2000 gallons for a base fixed rate. Water use over 2000 gallons will result in an extra charge. I live alone and have three tanks set up currently. I have not yet exceeded the 2000 gallons per month useage.
I suggest checking for leaks right away. Toilets can have leaks that can go unseen as the water leaks from the tank into the bowl. This can be checked with a dye placed into the tank. (my water company gives the dye tablets out free.)
I checked the water line into the house by turning off the water in the basement and comparing the meter after many hours/days. This led to finding a pinhole leak in the supply line to the house.
After fixing the pinhole leak my water heater pressure relief valve began to vent water. I discovered very high water pressure and had to replace the pressure reduction valve in the ground near the water meter.
