Owners and users describing the problem in their own words: Reddit, low-star reviews, App Store, Ask HN.
A water bill jumped from about 2,500 to 48,000 gallons with no visible leak, and the utility's meter check gave no clear explanation.

Water usage on the home meter keeps rising month over month with no clear source, and the meter does not move when a toilet is flushed, so the homeowner cannot find the leak.

A gas leak on the customer side of the meter caused a usage spike on the bill, and the utility and landlord disagree on who is liable.
