I got a visit from the head of the city utilities department today. No one
can account for the excessive readings on my electric and water bills. I'm
wondering where to turn next for help in investigating this matter.

Do they agree that it is excessive though? They *must* realize that.
They see everyone's bills--they should know that your bill is probably
higher than a family that uses a lot more electrical appliances more
often than you do.
Did they have any suggestions about what to do now? Like getting an
electrician to inspect the wiring or something. Would that help?
