Shared Water Supply Issues
Not sure if anyone has advice- we have a 1940's semi with a shared water supply with our neighbour and a farm about 100 metres away- the farm obviously uses a lot of water which often leaves the houses without any at all, which causes things like our boilers and washing machines to stop working- the houses have water…

United utilities - too much water used?
Just received a letter saying that I'm using more water than usual. What is perplexing is that I don't have a water meter?? How do they know I'm using more water than usual?? Has anyone else received a letter from them saying this? Would be grateful for any clarification. Thank you.

Text from UKSearch in my ex partners name

Bit of background - I bought my home in Sept 2023. Water meter was read when I arrived and I was told there was a smart meter.
