Hi everyone. My LADWP bill for the June-October cycle was a whopping $5,100, which is an 85% increase from my normal bill. $3,500 of that is for water, which does not make sense unless there is a leak.
I emailed LADWP and got a response that they did an investigation of my unit due to the extreme increase. I need to call to hear the result of the investigation. This sounds like they are standing by the bill.
Any experience with this?

😮😮😮 I haven’t experienced this but I’ve seen similar stories on the Los Angeles reddit page. Could be insightful for you on how those concluded.

Hi there! I used to work for a water company once upon a time. There’s likely a leak in the internal plumbing system of the building.

Ask them to send someone out to do a pressure test. They’ll be able to tell where the leak is coming from.

It does seem like I’m running a school or business!

I once got an exorbitant bill from LADWP and when I called to contest it they revealed that the meter reader couldn’t see my meter when he came to read it (it’s inside my patio and was obscured by a chair cushion that day) so they estimated. When I showed them my average usage for the 6 months prior they agreed they over charged me. Unfortunately for you, they wouldn’t issue a refund but instead credited my account so I essentially had no bill for a year until the credit was spent.

TLDR call them and fight it

Wtf how big is your house?

Agreed. I’ve been getting screwed. This has my attention now.

Example: https://www.reddit.com/r/LosAngeles/s/WFuNicfjZF

I don’t know how you could use this much water in an apartment. You would have to have a toilet stuck open or something like that but I’m not sure even that would use $3500 of water in a month. Do you know where your meter is? The first think I would do is check the meter readings and see if they match to the invoice. Also turn off all your water and see if the meter is still turning.

I know. I don’t think it would be possible. I searched the entire building with a plumber and we could not find the meter, so my property manager is coming by tomorrow. Thank you so much for your response.
