had a faulty retic do this - because it was underground it took quite a bit of investigation to find it
i reckon we created a temporary aquifer under the house!
$900 water bill!!
A faulty retic eh? Will check it out.
Is that something the council might have installed near the or as part of the meter? New meters about six months before this fiasco.
A 'retic' system is a water reticulation system that those guys over in WA use to keep their sandy front and back yards from being big sand pits and grow grass on.
You, in NSW, will be very unlikely to have one. Our dirt here has a much better chance of retaining moisture than their sand.
Can you do a basic test, and check what the numbers are on the water meter and compare them over a few days or weeks? If they have used that sort of volume of water, they are probably still using it, whether it is their usage or a fault/leak. The numbers will tell you this.
Get a plumber to check it out. There could be a leak somewhere after the meter.
I have a slight leak near my meter, but luckily it is on their side, so it won't show up on my meter.
Honestly?
