Maybe she is running an underground sea world....

It was in the news today that a 99 year old woman living in Washington DC had a water bill increase by nearly 4,000%
She normally pays about $30 for about 3,000 gallons of water per month.
Her bill this time was $1,182 for 139,876 gallons of water in the past month.
She says she did not use this amount, and honestly, I don't see how she could have.
Lets break it down:
139,876 gallons per month is approximately 4,512 gallons per day.
We will use the month of May as an example, and assume that all of the items in her home were conventional and not of the water saving variety.

in order to reach her goal of 139,876 per month, she could do any one of the following:
Flush the toilet 752 times/ day
Take 45 (ten minute) showers/ day
Take 90 baths in a full tub/day
Do 72 full loads of laundry/day
Run her dishwasher 300 times/day OR hand wash her dishes 150 times/day
Shave her legs 225 times/day
Brush her teeth 451 times/day
Wash her hands 2.256 times/day

any one of these things would reach what her bill stated she used.

Now I ask you,
how does a 99, nearly 1oo year old woman use that much water?
Chances are, she didnt.
The kicker?
The company that billed her is making her pay.
Really?
Yeah, that just happened.
