kept getting huge water bills. They knew beyond a
doubt that the bills weren't representative
of their actual usage, and no matter how
they tried to conserve, the high bills continued.
Although they could see nothing wrong, they had everything checked
for leaks or problems: the water meter, outdoor pipes, indoor pipes,
underground pipes, faucets, toilets, washer, ice maker, etc., all to
no avail.
One day the husband was sick and stayed home in bed, but kept hearing water
running downstairs.
He finally got out of his sick bed to investigate, and stumbled onto
the cause of the bills.
Apparently this was happening all day long when they were not at
home. Knowing that few would believe him, he taped a segment of
the 'problem' for posterity
