Since you're obviously not going to pay this water bill, can I come over and grab some water! My water tank is empty and needs a top-up.

So does that mean his elec bill will be as high too... those lights eat the power :agent:

Nah, Jewels has been peddling his ass off generating power on the exercise bike.

He's looking pretty buff lately too......

Go for a swim in the neighbours pool and when he asks what you think you are doing, telll him that you are going for a swim in your water. He only owns the hole in the ground.

I filled up a pool last year, whilst it took a bit of water it probably only cost around $10 extra on the water bill, even a large pool is dirt cheap to fill. I'm with someone filling up a water truck as those guys pay through the nose to fill up a truck normally, it's far cheaper if they take someone elses water...

I agree , the quantity is outrageous. Surely a neighbour would let me know if someone was pulling up in a tanker :stupid:

Update 751 Ltrs gone whilst at work v 5ltrs overnight . I even watched the meter when I got home for 15 mins and it did not move :blink:

I will await with interest the morning reading, appears at present to be a daytime problem.It will be interesting to see what patterns develop over coming days particularly the weekend.

Hopefully will provide an answer or at least a clue

Guys , thanks for the responses :blink:

next steps are as follows

1/I am going to take twice daily readings to track usage as there appears to have been significant increase over normal even from the last reading.

2/Get a plumber to leak test house and mains to be on the safe side

3/Front tap is getting shut down

3/ Sydney water have deferred the bill pending the above

there is some weird sh*t going down for sure :blush:

Good luck with the bill,,

We still right for the Scouts to come over & run the weekend carwash at your place? the 4 we done last week were a great success... :stupid:

Tip :next time the meter reader is heading up the road Jules shut the shed & roll out a Sigma.

Muzza.
