How much water per person does your household use?

[Auzzie turner]

As in my sig, I am a wood supplier, specializing in woodturning blanks, slabs, and burls. I live in Perth. I use a lot of water for the property, and high presssure water also for clearing the bark off of burls. See this thread.

Just in case youre worried about the amount of water I'm using, we have a very large bore.

Just got my bill. I live in a block of 8 townhouses. Our average daily use per unit was 1078 litres. I would have expected it to be about 300-400. Think we've got a leak somewhere!! Could all 8 units use this much water considering we've got very small gardens, are all at work most of the day and don't have kids? If not whats the process in finding the leak.

All the newer types of water water metres have a leak detection meter on them, its a little wheel that moves even with the slowest of leaks.

Check your meter for one, if it hasnt got it, maybe request the meter to be changed.

If it has got one see if it is moving when no one is using any water.
