Occasionally, water/sewer usage in a home or business will jump dramatically for one or two months. These high bills are usually caused by a leaking faucet, toilet, water softener, water heater, or pipe in the home.
Once the problem is found and repaired, the bill amount should return to normal next month.
How to Check for Leaks: To check if there is a leak in your home, turn off all running water in the house and check the water meter. If the numbers and/or dial are still turning, there is a leak. It is virtually impossible for a water meter to read high. As water meters become old and worn, they may read low!
Usage Fluctuations: The City of Corunna Department of Public Works reads water meters on a monthly basis. With 1,200 meters to read, occasionally, an error is made. If you suspect an error in your read, please call the Corunna City Hall (989) 743-5040 for a review of your bill.
Monthly vs. Quarterly Reads Every few years, and the Corunna City Council requests that we consider going to quarterly or every other month meter reads to save money. Management has consistently recommended against this change. It is feared that any read frequency less than monthly would result in property owners that do have a leak going several months without it being detected.
Meter Improvements Underway: In 2004, the city began a meter improvement program. This program involves replacing old meters and updating meter read units. The program is designed to help eliminate human error, improve read cycle regularity, and reduce manpower requirements, fuel costs, and liability exposure. This program will take 5+ years to fully implement.
