What is the gpm on your water meter as a toilet bowl is filling with all other taps turned off? You can extrapolate that out to 12 hours and see what your water company charges for that amount of water.
@Blackwater_Park Sorry I rent. My landlord said that my water was running all night and It costs lots. My toilet is fixed now.
About three gallons per minute so 12×60x3 is 2160 gallons. It’s about $4.25 per 1000 gallons and and $7 per 1000 gallons in sewer charges where I live 11.25*2.16 is about 25 bucks.
Depends if it’s just a little dribble or running full tilt. I’d guess if you were in the flat you would notice if it was running at 3 gallons a minute as that would make a noise.
@Lightlyseared The neighbors complained from the noise. So was more than a dribble.
I was in deep sleep, and did not notice.
At least you got a good nights sleep.
