One possibility is that it's not actually being used for anything. A broken pipe could leak that much water, and depending on the local geology it might reach the water table without anyone noticing.
- VikingCoder 11y agoYeah, but they're being billed $90,000 a year. I suspect if it was just a broken pipe, the person would be motivated to fix it.
- adevine 11y agoI could imagine a billionaire wouldn't really notice it, as they'd probably expect it would cost a lot to keep a large lawn lush and green.
- cheeze 11y agoThis might be on a 20 million dollar estate though. The home owner probably has never actually seen a single bill, their assistant handles that.
- waterlesscloud 11y agoI had a friend who was a "household manager" in Bel Air. Basically a full-time job just handling the administrative work of running a giant house and staff. While part of the job was to be sure money didn't get wildly wasted, I do kinda doubt they'd have known anything was wrong with the water bill.
