I would say who ever reads the meters maybe spotted this leak and is doing you a favour by telling you of same. assuming its a leak on your side of the metre??
your best enquire about it first anyway. should be contact number on your bill to speak to someone.

Contacted the scheme , who were so un professional & absolutely of no help whatsoever, other than to tell me it’s my problem & I need to sort it & Irish Water were of no help either ...
Apparently these little group schemes don’t report to Irish Water or anyone , do can make up all their own rules ....

What a great country we live in 🀬

Sorry to hear that you had this experience.

Group Water Schemes are privately owned and operated schemes.Group schemes are responsible for the provision of supplies to their customers and the maintenance of their networks irrespective of whether supplies are privately or publicly sourced.
