Water Meter removed - where do I stand regarding billing

How can I tell if I'm on mains drainage?
Hi There, I hope someone can help me with this. I recently moved into a house in a very rural village.

Water meter vanished
I got an estimated bill through for my water, which I thought was strange as my meter is outside under one of two water points (one for my flat, one for the flat above). They say on their website they take actual readings before sending bills. So, I went to check it today. I have check under both as it is not clear which…
