Sometimes an unusually high water bill can be caused by something as simple as a leaking toilet or a small leak around the home. Even a leak that seems minor can waste a significant amount of water over time.

The Town of Arcadia advises citizens that if they notice an abnormal increase in their water bill, take a few minutes to check:

– Toilets that continue running after flushing
– Dripping faucets
– Leaking showerheads or tubs
– Pipes under sinks or around the home
– Outdoor faucets and water hoses
– Irrigation or sprinkler systems
– Water heaters and other water-connected appliances

Also, if a bill appears abnormal, contact Arcadia Town Hall so they can review the account and have the meter re-read. The number for Town Hall is Town Hall: 318-263-8456

The Town of Arcadia wants to work with its citizens to identify potential problems and make sure water usage is being accurately recorded.
