All they've told me is that if there's a leak it's down to me to get it investigated and repaired and that's not just internal leaks, (we haven't got any!), but also any leaks between our inlet back to their meter.

My suggestion that they recheck the meter reading was ignored.

I simply can't afford to get someone in to dig up almost my entire front garden to inspect and investigate a stevmk2
as some one has already posted make sure no water is being used and check if the meter is turning if it is you have a leak.

Also check the meter reading on your meter and compare it with the water bill.

If you had tried it when it was first suggested a few dozen messages ago you would have had the answer by now.

Sorry but I'm still working Monday to Thursday Bruce and it's been hammering down here for days on end too so I've not got around to it yet!

We've had other things we had to do too but I will be checking it as soon as I can.
I do appreciate the advice so are you happy now? stevmk2

I've done it last week and still don't understand the near-20 cubic metre difference on last year's bill compared to previous bills but, as I said, my check just confirms what I thought regarding leaks on my property - I don't have a leak.

To get Anglian Water involved I have to prove beyond any shadow of doubt that any leak is NOT on my property and that means up to their meter so it means excavation & investigation which I simply cannot afford.

As for verifying the meter reading, the bill does not give me a reading for the 14th of January - when they say they did it!
I've asked them for that but they've not replied. stevmk2
