You get into the realms of how much a shower costs, or a bath if you are
metered for water.
Not really my experience.. It's just like electricity or what have
you. We use what we want, but we don't waste it, but then we wouldn't
leave taps running unnecessarily, anymore than we would leave lights on.
Out water use has been very stable over the years I notice. We seem to
average about 60 m^3 every six months - this hasn't changed much from
moving house, or adding an extra person to the household.
My average use over the 18 months I have had a meter is 1.073 m^3 per
week, so that would be approximately 28 m^3 in six months, but I am a
single household, and I have never wasted water, even before I had a
meter fitted.
There are 4 of us, so double would sound reasonable to me.
When I discussed it with a neighbour who already had one, he said "What
you should do is to continue with the same habits, don't try to
economise or you will become paranoid". :-)
Indeed.
