Actual meter usage over £750 for 2 adults & 1 child in Yorkshire - what's wrong??

The average consumption in UK is 60 cubic metres per person per year.
So with 3 people the average would be 45 cubic metres per quarter.0 -

So it could have been an estimate, despite what Yorkshire Water says about actual readings.
I will do the "overnight tap test" today, will see tomorrow.0 -
The overnight test did not report any leaks. Some water was running somewhere for the first 45 minutes, probably just filling-up the tank. After that for 6 hours no change at all.
We are going away for 3 weeks, so I will definitely note the values there, especially with the view of the neighbours next door... I still find it hard to believe we are using three times the water what all our friends with larger families use.0 -
Checked for crossed supply ?0

Do you have a power shower? They can use an incredible amount of water in a relatively short time, far more that a bath. If so how many minutes a day is the shower used? Have you tried putting the plug in while you have a 'normal shower and seeing what the result is? You say you have a toddler, is your wife an SAHM but wasn't in 2008?Declutterbug-in-progress.⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️0
