Note on water: We always have annual fluctuations in our data due to
estimated billing vs. meter readings, however our reported water usage
for 2021/22 was exceptionally high, following a very low figure for the
previous year. Our water meters were read far less frequently during the
pandemic, so this figure reflects the data catching up with actual usage.
Our actual consumption patterns remain consistent year to year, driven
largely by sanitation and vehicle washing.
