Default water usage bill

Is it just my Water a/c or are others having the same problems.

I do my bit for carrying buckets of grey water out to the garden (even with
a bad back), I have a large round garbage bin to catch water and I collect
quite a bit that way, for my garden.

I rarely use the hose, am careful with the water usage inside the house
and...........

the account is higher each time I get it. Actually I don't get it. Then I
think, why do I bother wrecking my back even further!

Would like some comments please.

What is higher the cost or the amount used? Assuming its the amount check for
dripping taps, running toilet cisterns and leaking pipes all the way around
the system from the meter to every outlet. You (or a more mobile friend) may
have to get under the house up in the roof etc to trace the pipes. Are there
any mysterious wet spots around the house or the yard? Do you have more
people in the house than you used to?
