local council planning officer is asking for a water usage calculation on a large house.
6 shower rooms, 2 bathrooms, 3 cloakrooms. 4 outside taps, 2 kitchens and 1 utility.
Oh and a pool.
Do they want peak usage, adding all outlets at once? There’s only 4 people live there!
Do you know @ShaunCorbs .?

Thanks
 
Worst case eg peak but some are happy with just an approximation (day to day usage)
 
I've seen as usage chart somewhere. Maybe in the building regs which give the max required and then you are down to guessing something just under.

Long time since I have done it though.

The alcohol has killed off a lot off the grey matter since then.
