I am a registered civil engineer and former general manager of a medium sized water district. A domestic water bill for 625,000 gallons in four months seems not only highly unlikely but essentially impossible, (“$17K water bill shocks family on the hook,” March 20). This would require about three bathroom sinks running full flow 24 hours a day for four months. I would not consider this a leak.
