You don’t need to tell them , but you should be able to claim a rebate if your waist water doesn’t go into their  drains , I have a sub meter and only lay for the water charge on that no sewerage charge it dies make a big difference to the bills .

When I started out I wasn’t on a meter and didn’t tell them. They knew they were losing around three cubic metres of water every couple of days though and would frequently turn up in the street with a special stethoscope thing trying to pinpoint ‘the leak’ 😀

If you  arnt  on a meter  how would they know they are loosing 3cm ???? Evan if you were on a meter they wouldn’t worry about it 3 cm loss isn’t anything to a water company it would need to be in the 100s at least before they would investigate

I'm not on a meter and have been "making" pure water at my address since 2005. No problems so far ...

I had exactly the same, every week across the road for months. I used to make them a flask up in the morning while the van was filling up. They never found that 'leak'

I think they might have had a meter at the end of the cul de sac because they knew precisely how much was vanishing.
They never pinpointed it but got very close.
Moved house eventually, now on a meter.

Don’t believe a word of it if that was the case they would need thousands of staff to find real leaks that loose tens of thousands of ltr per day not a window cleaner using a tiny amount of water per day .

Believe what you want mate but that’s what happened in my road. They would park up now and again and a guy used a long stethoscopes plonked on the ground every couple of feet. I asked what they were looking for and it’s the answer they gave. Spot on with their estimate too. Wessex Water.
