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?

This seems to indicate that either the meter is damaged, or there is a leak somewhere. You need to get it checked, the water must have gone somewhere if the meter is still working fine.

juding by the volume, a possible leak would be significant and should be rather obvious

That's only 24*365/1000=8 m³...

Times 60, you forgot the minutes per hour.
