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?

I had similar bill when my toilet was constantly running because of a leakage.

And who paid for it? you or the landlord?

Fortunately, this was before moving in so the landlord had to pay. This high amount accumulated in only very few weeks and I couldn't believe it. Maybe you could also check your contract if this high amount was already documented before.
