Good morning. Do any of you have high water bills? (vid)
Do you own a cat? Stupid question for the Lounge, I know. Anyway, perhaps this is the cause of your problem:

Jennifer and Jim 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: first the water meter, then outdoor pipes, indoor pipes, underground pipes, faucets, toilets, washer, ice maker, etc. -- all to no avail.

One day Jim was sick and stayed home in bed, but kept hearing water running downstairs. He finally tore himself from his sick bed to investigate, and stumbled onto the cause of such high water bills. Apparently this had been 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 -- see attached video.

1. Ha! our girl cat almost flooded our old apartment once
I woke up to hear running water...funny I didn't think it was supposed to rain...I almost went back to sleep but figured I should check it out.

Pepper had a washcloth jammed down the drain and the hot water on full blast. She just sat on the edge of the tub watching it. The boy cat, ever nervous anyway, paced back and forth on the bathroom floor. I was amazed that he did't get her a push in.
