That’s a lot of water. Our bill looks like this for the last 6 months.
Yorkshire Water agreed to come out and do a full inspection, have a look around the property for signs of any leaks etc.Turn your supply off on your incoming water feed then look at your meter which should have stopped. If not you potentially have a leak somewhere between the meter and your stop ****.
Dear god that is an obscene amount of water per day!Just gone through the calculator again.
Currently pay £601.40 a year, with a meter i would pay £694.10.
505.26 liters a day.
Try to hold off getting a meter as long as you can. I'm paying £80 a month, double that of my neighbours. Despite me complaining that the meter must be faulty, Yorkshire Water are adamant that it's not. Nothing I can do about it either apart from taking no more showers!

Wash the dishes by hand you lazy sod!
Thanks for that, will do that as the meter being inaccurate is the only thing I can think of as I cant see any sign of internal leaks, and the meter doesn't seem to move when the stop tap is shut.As well as doing what Doobedoo suggested it would be worth testing the accuracy of your water meter as it could be overcounting. Various ways of doing this, work out the volume of your bath and take meter readings before and after running it to the measured volume. Or use a number of 5L buckets next time your washing the car, or the volume of the toilet cistern and number of flushes.
Once you have the evidence that the water meter is faulty demand that the utility company replace it. Take it to the ombudsman if they fail to comply, and don't forget to demand the money back for the length of time the meter was inaccurate. It's worth doing.
it really makes you wonder... with all of the heightned prices of gas and electric
perhaps this is a way for the water companies to make even more money!
The last time it was nationalised Labour governments turned a profitable industry into a desolate mess, with such high fines from Europe due to falling so far below cleanliness standards, that the only way to raise that many billions for investment and improvements was for the Tories to privatise it.try living in devon/Cornwall, found the cost over twice the price due to having to pay to keep beaches clean.
imo water is one thing that should be nationalised.
Yeah, you're not wrong. The amount of leaks is crazy and the time to fix.
Privatised though, all about the profits.
