This is really too bad. But I gotta say, there are water companies on the mainland who will let their customers know there is a spike. Ours did in Moss Beach, California - somehow they knew we had a leak and sent a notice. Sure enough, one of the toilets had been running -- you couldn't even hear it w/o putting your ear close to the tank. This was 3 years ago and I believe they still do this. They also installed smart meters that didn't require a meter reader. All water companies, if they have the technology, should be on this. It not only saves their customers money, it saves resources.
