Ridiculous business water bill!

chriz1000

Just trying to get a feel for how much people are paying for business water bills. The premises in question has 2 customer toilets and a total of 3 sinks. There is also a drinks machine that takes water from the main supply. I would say we use around 2 times the amount of water an average house uses.
My water bill for the last 6 months is…. £14,500! The previous water bill for the 6 months prior was £11,000 but I expected it to be high as we had a very bad leak for about 36 hours.
I know for a fact we haven’t had a leak on the premises this time, and we are on a metre. The water company is currently looking into the situation and have been for the last couple of months. Anyone have an idea of how much I should be paying?

Erm doesn't look like bristol water publish their business charges on their website (unlike my local water company).

Maybe you're best phoning and asking for a copy of the charges scheme, which will let you manually calculate your bill and see if its correct.
