If you have high water bills...

Make sure your cat is not to blame.
You will be amazed! Be sure to read the story before viewing the video.
Jennifer and Jim (who do not live in Lake Worth) 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 video below.



I've had cats and know about their fascination with water. If you have a cat, it may be wise to keep the door to the bathroom closed - especially considering their inability to understand that our water supply is a limited and shrinking resource.
