Research question

Unusual usage can come from a leak, a meter error, a change in occupancy, or irrigation. A single bill cannot tell which.

Method

Use at least three billing cycles. Record the meter reading, the billed usage, the occupancy, the maintenance check, and the repair date. Compare the same lot before and after the repair.
