Compare repair dates using an observed daily water loss
Suppose an unoccupied home, with intentional and automatic water uses off, records 288 L of meter movement over 24 hours. That averages 0.2 L/min. Compare a 30-day projection with repair halfway through the period.

0.2 L/min × 1,440 min/day × 30 days = 8640 L. Divide by 1,000 for m³, then multiply by 3 for USD 25.92.

What the comparison shows
The estimated variable charge is 12.96 lower in the shorter scenario. Repair cost and any fixed charges are separate.
Assumptions and limits
Use the 24-hour sample only if the flow is likely to remain comparable. A real statement may span a different number of days.
