Your monthly bill show a bar graph of your monthly usage for the past year.  Is your usage up?  If so, you may have a leak somewhere.  BTW, I haven’t noticed a large increase.

My bill appears to be about the same as it has been. I suggest that you call and ask about your bill. I had a similar situation last year and called asked about it. They suggested some things to look at such as a commode continually leaking because the "flapper" might be old and allowing water to seep by it. That was not my problem but came to find out that I had a slow water leak in a copper pipe underneath the concrete slab." Luckily" my son found the the leak and it happened to be under the slab right where the copper pipe went from the hot water heater through the slab. The reason I say "lucky" is becaiuse the concrete would feel warm right around where the pipe went through slab. My son is a pretty good "handyman" and he was able to use a small "hammer drill" to get through the concrete and repair it. If we had not found the leak I was told it would be pretty "expensive" to have a "company" come in and use their equipment and expertise to locate the leak. Another place to look for a leak would to check the pipe from your water meter to where it enters your house. Good "luck".

Turn a faucet on and check the water metter. You will see a dial going around. Then turn the faucet off and see if you still see the dial going around. If you do see it going around, there is a leak.

I had the problem that required me to hire the guy to come in with his expensive equipment to locate the leak in my concrete slab and then had to pay someone to fix the leak and then repair the damage caused by when they fixed the leak.  You were fortunate to find the leak the way you did.  

I had another time when I had a leak in the main line to the house, caused by the landscaper.  

If you bill goes up unexpectedly, you definitely need to locate the problem.

with all the rain this year  tree roots will cause pipe breakage. had it happen to my water regulator. cracked the PVC fitting enough to cause leakage and it was slow. finally found it by a wet spot outside that is usually NOT wet. root had grown under it and caused it to crack! it was 16" underground.  sawz- all and good bye mr. root!

Doesn't look like rates have changed since 2016, and my bill hasn't moved a cent (always minimum). You either are using more or have a leak it sounds like.

Our bill has not gone up any, and similar usage from last year.  Just fyi.
