Water consumption?
I've just had a bill for the last 6 months and it shows that we used 100 cubic litres of water. I'm trying to find out if thats a reasonable amount for 3 adults + 1 17 year old and a Uni student who's home about 4 months of the year? Any one got an idea as to what is considered average for a household? Thanks MM
