If you get any relief, think of it as a blessing. When I worked with the water part of the council, we had a big leak in the sandy soil of the garden. It must have leaked for ages before we found it, but only after the mega bill. We got no relief, and I worked for them. Bastards.

Never had a spade Jon. But it might have been a shovel. Or the bloke we paid to build the front deck.
Edit. Changed spare to spade. Bloody auto correct got me again.

When the reeds beside the river in front of our house went up in flames, it burnt the water meter and the poly pipe the otherside of the meter. Because we are on a trickle feed supply that requires constant feed to a tank so we have enough in the tank to operate taps etc, the tap before the meter only changes the flow rate, it doesn't stop the flow. I added a stop cock tap in the pipe before it went into the under road pipe, fitted a T piece and pumped water from the river through the under road pipe the way it was originally designed.
So, for around 3 mths we supplied water back into the Murray without realising it, the flow was underground/grass so not noticed. I dug the pipe up after we got a monster bill and found where the pressure had burst the heat weakened poly pipe. The water mod weren't interested, but they had noted that as soon as the fitted the new meter it recorded water flow so they determined the supply was refilling the tank. We now just pay the fee for the pipe to run past the house because we have no choice, but we don't use the town water, just too expensive.
