What Is Chlamydia? Chlamydia is a common STD that can infect both men and women. It can cause serious, permanent damage to a woman's reproductive system, making it difficult or impossible for her to get pregnant later on. Chlamydia can also cause a potentially fatal ectopic pregnancy (pregnancy that occurs outside the womb).
Since your water &/or sewer bills are calculated, in part based on consumption (with the exception of some out of city flat rate sewer areas), a leak can result in a much higher than normal water bill. Some leaks are easier to find than others, such as a dripping faucet or a running toilet.
In addition, the sewer bill is based on water usage. Hence, the incremental cost of 1,000 gallons of water and sewer use is $5.40 for water and $3.50 for sewer (2013 rates), for a total cost of $8.90. This total cost equals 9/10ths of 1 cent per gallon. A leak can be costly and can add up quickly.
