Bill jumped but you're not using more? That's often a hidden leak quietly running up the cost.
If your water bill has climbed and nothing's changed at home, the usual explanation is a leak somewhere you can't see — quietly wasting water (and money) around the clock.
Take a reading off your water meter, then don't use any water for an hour or two. Take another reading. If it's moved, water's escaping somewhere. For toilets, pop a little food colouring in the cistern — if colour creeps into the bowl without flushing, it's leaking.
If something's up but you can't find it, Declan Gent can trace it with leak detection and put it right. Dec covers Exeter and Devon.
