Checking water useage with card meter??

Our tenant is having to spend a fortune on topping up the card for water - she cannot possibly be using that much & has had the Belediyesi out to look at it several times. They insist the meter is working correctly so as far as we can see there are only 2 possibilities either a leak somewhere of which there is no evidence or air being supplied.
Has anyone had a problem like this recently & found a solution?

Switch off the pump, all the taps and toilets in the house and see it the meter is still spinning/ticking over...

A leak on the roof tank is not easy to spot...

Especially not on that house as it does not have any!! Thanks for the advice.

Had the same problem. Turned out to be a burst pipe under ground from the meter to the depot tank. Turn the feed pipe to the tank off and see if the meter is spinning . If it is then that surely means you have a burst pipe . We just replaced it with a surface plastic pipe as it was under concrete !.
