Water is heard running in bathrooms in the back of the house
 
Water is only heard when the water heater is heating water , which is often.
Water bill has increased about double the normal amount. This is a gas water
heater.

Where is the water heater? Is there an expansion tank on it? If it
becomes waterlogged and the water cannot expand when heated, it can be
forced ou the safety valve. Is the safety plumbed into a drain? If you
cannot see the water, feel the tubing on the exit to see if it is hot.
