Thanks ams. The mystery has been solved. Since 2004 I have been sent estimates (although it did not say on the bills) and this year they read the meter. Since January I have only used 1 cu.m. so no leak. At least I now know where the meter is!

Thanks to all those who tried to help,

Eillen

That still seems a mighty lot of water for 12-14 weeks PA, let's put to put it another way:

13 weeks x 4 years = 52 weeks

860cu/m /52 = 16.5cu/m per week

16.5cu/m / 7 = 2.36cu/m per day of occupancy

Begin to get my point ?

 


My doctor said one drink per day, I can live with that !

Ah but there is a pool involved which surely must have been emptied and filled a few times over those years and you are charged for discharging if you are on the mains supply plus I would imagine holiday renters wouldn't be very frugal unless they are metered at home.

Not according to the original post:

I had repair work to the pool so it had to be filled again but that was only about 40 cubic metres.

As for holiday renters, apart from the fact that we don't know if this is holiday let, (and reading between the lines I don't think it is), at an average of say even 50lt a pop, a family of 6 showering three times a day would use 900lt which still leaves some 1400lt of the apparent daily consumption unaccounted for Confused [8-)]

Incidentally I think poolguy will tell you that, except under dire or exceptionel circumstances, there should never be any need to drain and refill a pool Big Smile [:D]
