At least the issue was easily fixed. I guess you can say that this is now all just water under the bridge.

Hmmmm 10 million gallons, that's uum 37.8 Million litres of water (Yikes!), Where does one put all that water??

Lets say she opened a lot of tabs in her house, and about 15 liters (~4 gallons) a minute flowed into the sink, it would take her about 4.7 years (give or take a few days) to waste all that water...

If the water bill was accurate, she would have to somehow use 875 liters (~231 gallons) of water a minute (saying that a month is 30 days)...seems a bit impossible doesn't it

Ever tried wasting 14.5 Liters (~3.83 gallons) of water a second?

What were those guys thinking when they made that bill?....
