I once had a $1500 one - Miami (at least then) billed quarterly and when I utterly panicked and hired a plumber they found the cracked main line from the street had been pouring under my parking slab for months.
Didn’t think to, I dunno, call me to ask if I had started a “will fill your Olympic pool for free” business but were happy to knock off 10% when I showed them the thousands of repair bills to fix it.
I’m assuming, given that the water company’s reaction included a threat for immediate disconnection, that this is not for the first month of service. It’s just the first time they “paid”.
Jebus. $500 water bill?!

My city sent me a letter once because it looked like I had a toilet always running. They were right.
That certainly would have been helpful in my experience.
