Default Water meters

They have a caravan, with unmetered water, 15 miles away. They have
installed a twin tub washing machine in the caravan (bought in a sale
for £10). They drive to the caravan 3 times a week to do their washing.


90 miles at 12p/mile(ish) just for fuel is £10.80. Water is about
0.2p/l (supply & sewage) so 5,400l. I doubt very much that a washing
machines uses 1,800l/wash. Thats 1.8 cubic meters...

I'm *not* joking :-(


Sadly I'm not surprised.
