High water consumption

[Rach.l]

It's only water meter usage within our building. No one else's water.

Is the Water meter being read visually or electronically?

How often is the meter being read?

If it's read very frequently you may pick up a pattern.

 

[Rach.l]

It is a visual meter read monthly and I do it too monthly as well.

Rach, to be honest this isn't something you're going to get to the bottom of until term end and the building is temporarily empty.

I had something similar years ago. Turned out to be a student that used to leave her tap on because she thought it improved the humidity....

Can't be right
With a bill
I've that, your using 5,000,000 a month! Or 1500litres a day per person.

 

[Rach.l]

We did calculate the water usage. I can't remember exact amount. But we had one night when no one was in the building except for 1 person. Probably using the toilet and making a cup of tea. So i took a reading that evening and again in the morning and we had used around 13,000Lts.

 

[Rach.l]

Yep that's what I mean it's not possible. surveyor said it was like a hose pipe on full 24 hours a day.

 

[Dotty]

If the toilets have internal overflows I'd begin with them....

 

[Rach.l]

That might be but it's been going on for over a year. Beginning of September everyone moved out and I checked early morning when the building was compketely empty checking every riser listening to drain and soil pipes, there was nothing, you could hear a drip. We found 1 toilet overflowing a tiny bit. That was it.
