I had a good attempt at economising during a drought a few years
back and got down to 10 cu m per year (27 litres/person/day).
I now seem to use about 15 cu m per year (41 litres/person/day),
although on one night, a broken ballcock managed to waste almost
2 year's worth at that rate.

Did you make a claim against the water charges when you had the "leak"?

Not a claim as "where there is blame there is a claim" but many water
companies do give a reduction in the charges for internal leaks. This is
usually a one off reduction.

South East Water clearly stated somewhere on their paperwork that
they didn't do this. My household insurace would cover it, but
at something like £30, it wasn't worth the hassel.

Well that is fair enough.

I know that Yorkshire Water can allow special provisions for major internal
leaks and allow a reduction in the bill.

At an estimated £30 wastage I agree it is not worth the hassle.
