Do you get a water bill once every ten months?
Is that how the water company bills?
I never heard of such a thing.
The longest Ive ever seen a water bill is once every two months.

I was wondering how the bill got to 500 even with a leak.

That's about 150m3 of water at current prices (about a pound per m3 for the
water, but they charge you 2 pounds per m3 for sewer charges as the same
company often provides both services).

So about 40000 US gallons. Which is, over a year, 100 gallons a day (more if
this was a 10 month period - I lost track over that part).

That is no dribble - I'm sure *I'd* notice if that was going down the bog
via an internal overflow into the flush pipe.
