For a start, your pipes might be causing the problem. In most homes, pipes are constructed out of sight or underground. So if one of them is damaged, leaking or broken, you might not notice. However, over the course of a year, such a leak can lead to thousands and thousands of litres of wasted water, which, of course, means a high water bill for you.
The same goes for leaking taps, fixtures and toilets. Did you know that a single leaking tap can waste thousands of litres of water per year? And then there could be appliances that are using far more water than they should.
Another of the most common – yet undiagnosed – problems is water meters. A faulty water meter can lead to an exorbitantly high water bill. If this is the case, it’s crucial to have the meter replaced by the relevant authority.
