Water, water, everywhere...

Saw my water bill today. The joys of a shared water meter. Our block of flats, split 6 ways, still has the usage for per flat at more than double the targetted usage :(
And yet in terms of usage it was still bloody cheap for 2 months. (I don't pay my water bill, it's part of my rent to my parents (shared meter meant not being able to get a separate acocunt in my name) so I rarely get a chance to actually see the details, but usage has always been cheap, hence incorporating, it)
Given I have no washing machine at present, and no dishwasher or airconditioner, that means my water contributions are showers, toilet flushings, dishes and washing my hands. I've also got not terribly powerful water pressure. Believe me, I'm not using anywhere close to that. Sigh. Makes me grumpy, but what can I do....
I suppose that's because I'm one person in the flat and I still pay 1/6th, despite most of the other flats being at a minimum of 3 people, an there are at least a couple where despite them being 2 bedrooms I think at least 4-6 people live there. But even so!
