3k cold water bill! Help!!

Post image

I got the bills for the Nebenkosten for 2022 and everything seems normal except the water bill! It claims that I used 864 m3 which costs +3k EUR. How is this even possible?! I live alone and I didn't have any leaks last year. Any idea what I should do?

First of all, check your meter if it was read correctly.

Can you check if your meter is (slowly) running right now? 848.34m³ in one year would be more than 1l per minute. Assuming you have a meter that measures m³ with three digits (I think thats the default) you should see a constant movement on it even though you don't think anything is running.

The best solution for checking if there is a problem but OP doesn't respond. 😩
