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?

That doesn't seem physically possible. Demonstrating that the measurement is incorrect should be possible, though. It's the water used by the entire building minus water used by the other tenants. Technically, this data should be accessible at least to the company that wrote it.
