The invoices will either be sent to your address or in most cases they are emailed to you. If the water company have your email address and phone number they will usually notify you of any abnormalities.so it’s a good idea to register to get your bill sent to you on line.
Excessive bills can mean a few things, but firstly how is your basura collected. I live in the municipality of Guardamar and our basura is still part of our water bill, so we get a”high” bill when the basura is collected. Most municipalities seem to collect this now through SUMA, but check first that the large bill has nothing to with the basura. Someone could feasibly be tapping into you water supply, but the most likely cause of a high bill could be a water leak.
If there is a leak you need to check your meter, you say they’re in a locked room, so I guess you are in an apartment which is part of a community. You need to speak to the president immediately. Normally I’d say also contact your administrator, but it’s August so they’ll be working with heavily reduced staffing levels.so it will probably take them over a week to get back to you. They ( the president) will have access to the meter, but you should have been given the key when you moved in to the property. Do any of your neighbours have a key to access the meters. You’ll soon see if you have a leak by looking at the meter. If all your water is switched off inside the apartment and the meter is still spinning, contact your insurance. I’d guess that well over 90% of high water bills are due to a “invisible” leak You need to take action asap as your next bill could potentially be much much higher.
