Just got our first daily water use info for our water meter

It's 1180 litres. I am gobsmacked.

3 bedroomed house. 2 of us living here permanently, occasional visits from a 3rd person! Both working mostly at home. Around 10 loads of washing a week, dishwasher used once a day. 2 showers and 1 bath a day (bath is deep). Bath is taken by husband who has a life long illness which leaves him in lots of physical pain, which is helped by a bath.

Is this normal? The useful info provided says that a typical 2 person household should use around 270 metres a day. Do we have a leak or are we just using appalling amounts of water? If the latter, any tips on reducing this? Thankyou.

Wowsers OP, what a total saga. I'm glad it has now been resolved, honestly you must have been going insane with not having got it sorted til now.

I'm really glad you got it sorted. Shocked by all the posters who couldn't seem to understand that 10 loads of washing a week didn't explain a usage almost 4.5 times greater than average!
