Maybe they didn't actually read the water meter, and just made a guess?
Could they have done the same with the electric meter? The people who lived
here before were constantly using electric heaters, which I have never
done.... This is totally maddening.... I will just not be able to afford to
live here if these bills are correct.

They've read the meters wrong or they've charged for some
of the previous customer's usage. It happens frequently.
Utilities will make adjustments if you complain.

Also, check for any signs of a leaking hot water pipe, down in the
basement. That would run up both the water bill and the electric
bill.
