  Water is the same deal. If the water pipe going between your house and your garage leaks 30 olympic swimming pools worth of water deep underground, your utility company will be more than happy to set you up with a payment plan. AWS isn't the only example of giving blank checks to some vendor...

    Although it'd be hard not to notice before the leak is even halfway through one swimming pool worth. On AWS it's fairly easy for the charges to rack up for quite a while. (Also, at least around here if the water agency notices abnormal flow for a long time they drive by and if they see a leak they shut off the water. Happened to me once when a sprinkler pipe blew out.)

      Not in my case. Leaked about three Olympic pools of water and we have zero clue where any of it went.
