My water bill jumped. Could it be because of a water leak somewhere?

Answer

Uh while your water heater is going up. Your water your water your water bill is going up. you need to check. You can also check with the usually the city on your water district to see what your usage is and if it seems out of the norm. Um I would definitely call a plumber to do a leak detection. Um there's also devices plumbing uh plumbers can install like mow and smart valves to detect smallest leaks, you know, even to a drip. Um those are two routes you can go to or three routes actually. Uh but definitely it's something to be concerned about and to look into um with uh either a plumber or your uh your water.
