My Water Bill Doubled and Nothing Changed (Enetai, WA)
A bill that jumps with no change in use almost always means water is leaving the system somewhere. Here's how to find out where.
High water bill on conventional East Bremerton lots in Enetai is a specific problem with a specific set of causes, and the ground, hardpan on the Perry Avenue plateau, decides which is most likely. We're a few minutes away in East Bremerton and we bring pressure gauges and isolation, pumps and the mini excavator on the first trip.
What usually causes high water bill in Enetai
Irrigation: a cracked mainline, a valve stuck open, or a drip zone that never shuts off can run a meter all night. In Enetai that usually means mid-century copper at fittings near Port Orchard Bay, and the ground, steep till lots facing Bainbridge, decides how far the water travels before you see it.
The second thing we rule in or out is seasonal use you forgot. Compare to the same month last year, not last month. It's common enough on sloped lots on Trenton Avenue that we never skip it.
And a running toilet: a flapper or fill valve that doesn't seat lets water run silently from tank to bowl. Less common on waterfront on Enetai Beach Road, but we've found it near Pine Road.
First steps on a Enetai property
Enetai's bluff lots along Enetai Beach Road and Trenton Avenue surface water at seeps and retaining walls far below the break, and the plateau lots around Perry Avenue and Pine Road surface it near fittings.
What you can check yourself on waterfront on Enetai Beach Road: close every fixture and watch the meter's low-flow indicator for two minutes. Isolate irrigation at its own shutoff and re-test. If you get that far, we'll pick it up from there with pressure gauges and isolation and acoustic ground microphone and.
