High water bill without consuming or leaking water

Peter from Browns Bay

Dear Neighbours,

I was wondering whether you've ever got a high water bill and you were certain that consumption didn't happen. What have you done in that case?

Our 3 people family average waterconsumption is about 250liters/day, for the May-June period we've got a bill for 2500liters/day!!!!! $377! We've checked the metre is read correctly, and there is no current waterleak.

The metre is 40 years old. And we were shocked to see that bill, while knowing we were at home with no changes whatsoever in our consumption. We were not watering anything...

Have you had experience like this before? What did you do?

Thanks,
Peter
