Neighbor's water running for hours...?

Question

Almost every day the people who live above me will have their water running in the bathtub for anywhere from 2 to 9 hours, straight.

I've been trying to think of what they could be doing, but don't want to ask them. They'd probably lie anyway. Anyone encountered this before?

Answer 1

no never encountered it before but thats really strange ..... maybe theyre mildly crazy must be to do that for 9 hours

Answer 2

1. get rake

2. go to neighbors house

3. wait for neighbor to appear

4.hit with rake

5. ???????

6. PROFIT!

Answer 3

Tell it to your landlord and try to find out what it is. I think he wont be happy either when they keep that water running all day

Peace

Answer 4

give a call to your water department or such and tell them that the people above you are wasting water.

you can also call the cops if you like for making too much noise for a long period of time ... 9 hours a day is pretty long.

Answer 5

That is odd.... call the police and have them check it out, maybe?

Can someone please answer one of mine? Thanks!

Answer 6

Just go tell the manager what they are doing

I am fairly sure that the apartment owner is the one who is footing the water bill

... . ...

And no one likes wasted money in todays economy

Answer 7

You must check with the people living in that apartment there may be chance that they are also not aware of it there may be a leeakge in the water line. i have faced such thing my water consumtion bill used to be a lot i check the meter and get it replaced as well but still the same / one simple advice worked for me to sove the issue. My mom inlaw told me that closed all the taps and water outpoints and then see the water meter if still it keeps running then there is a leekage inside the wall some where. I did marked reading and closed all the taps and showers then after an hour checked the reading it was running / called the plamber got it done inside the wall there was hole and pipeline was damged that was causing me a lot of money ..... may this insident help you as well or the people living near you.

Answer 8

maybe they're killing people?

haha thats strange

they must be really weird

Answer 9

no, but you should kindly ask them to stop using that water because there is going to be a drought if they dont stop. as in i mean people in california. and plus you should warn them to stop because pg&e will bill them for the excessive water use. some neighbors of mine got a huge bill from watering their grass too much.i cant imagine how much 2-9hrs will cost, if its consitent.

Answer 10

Why are you concerned with this?

Do you pay the bill?  No?  then it is none of your business now is it?   Do they 'spy' on you to see what you do for hours on end?

If you are surfing the net or sleeping for 2-9 hours and DON"T make a sound should they call the Land lord ( matt would really get on my bad side real quick) should they call the police and say, "I not heard a sound out of them, maybe they are sick, or dead, or dying:?  

See its none of your business unless it is causing you pain or cost.

Answer 11

thats strange..call the police..

Answer 12

I agree with "Gurlie Friez".Talk with your landlord or just call the police and have them check on it.

Answer 13

How you do you know it's the bathtub? Or running water at all?

Answer 14

No,sounds like they're wasting water!!Not good!

Answer 15

They could be using water to make their kids if they have any, play in the water cause of the heath

Answer 16

Yes, I have an idea what they could be doing.  My Mother is a realestate agent, and ran accross this before.

She was listing a condo for a woman.  The woman had two cats.  The cats liked the water best if it was "fresh" so the woman left the water running in the tub for them all the time.

The water bill for the entire condo went down signifigantly after that one woman and her two cats moved out.

Call your landlord and complain, or your condo association, if you are an owner.  It needs to stop.
