If your bill seems unusually high, the points below may help you to work out why:

  • Is there a leak on your water supply pipe?
  • Does your current bill cover a longer period of time than your old bill?
  • Are more people working at the premises?
  • Has the nature of the business changed?
  • Have you installed any new machinery that requires a lot of water?
  • Was your previous bill based on an estimated reading? If your previous estimate was too low, your current bill may include additional costs from previous bills.
  • Have you had any water-related problems, such as a dripping taps? A dripping tap can waste as much as 140 litres a week.
  • Have you done any building, renovation, or decorating since your previous bill, that could mean you have used more water that normal?
