Our last water bill was obscene. It jumped from $75 to $220 in one billing cycle. After my husband peeled himself off the ceiling, we pulled out our proverbial spy glasses and went looking throughout the house and yard for water-sucking culprits. We even had the city's water guy come out and make sure the meter was working properly, the water pressure was holding steady and there were no leaks between the street and the house. Nothing, nadda, no hits, no runs, no errors ~ except ~ for a trickle of water that ran steadily from the float in our little pond.
This float is designed to release fresh water into the basin once the pond water has dropped below a certain level. Well it seems that this little float had rusted and was allowing water to escape continually. It was a trickle not a gusher so we didn't notice. And not noticing cost us plenty.
It's that way with things sometimes. A habit, a thought, a behavior we think is under control slips out unnoticed, until some time passes and the innocuous little trickle adds up to a big time problem.
