Hi,

No, this is an impossible amount of water. Even a
small leak would have to leak for 2.5 years to create
such a bill. There has been a big water leak in the
road right next to the meter, though. And it turns out
that with the supply to my place shut off, the meter
is still running like crazy.

It's either the water company's problem or his, says
the landlord. ;-)

Thanks, though.

Angie
