Calculating my water consumption

Options
Hi,

I have recently had a bill from Yorkshire water for £160 for five months. This was for the property that I have just moved from and was calculated using two actual readings.

I then had a second bill which was based on one estimated read and one actual read. This pertained to my new property and estimated my consumption at 27 cubic meters per month.

Both of these bills seem really really high to me. I want to work out what my consumption should be before I call them and query a leak at my old property.

Does anyone know of an online water consumption calculator?

Many thanks.

    I used to pay about £200 per year when I used to live in my old, old, old property.

    This is what has made me question £160 for 5 months!

    27 cubic metres per month would be average consumption for 6 people in a house.

    My house has 4 adult residents & averages about 370 litres per day, ie about 11.3 cubic metres per month.
