Outrageous charges for electricity and water from Fungi Utilities

We have dealt with Fungi Utilities in two different apartment complexes now (one where we primarily used gas and one where we are solely on electricity) AND BOTH TIMES we have had issues with outrageous charges and very limited usage data being made available.

The cost of electricity and water is INSANE. We switch our geyser off from 6AM to 6PM, and we do not use our electrical stove anymore. We have bought a gas stove with a separate 9kg cylinder to make use of instead of the electrical stove. However, despite these efforts we still average R80-100 per day.

We are only two people that stay in this two-bedroom apartment (one of us works full time and the other part time) but even when we are not home during the day outrageous amounts are deducted. I am at a point where I wonder if the block of apartment's total is taken and divided amongst the number of units occupied. Because no matter what we do to use less electricity (and like I have mentioned... the geyser is off during the day, we almost never use the stove and very little lights are on at home during the night) THE AMOUNT PER DAY STILL AVERAGES AT R80-R100.

We are now at a point where we are ending our year lease to move to an apartment complex that does not make use of Fungi Utilities. Because this is MADDNESS. What more should we implement to save?!

There has to be a way to back the usages of electricity and water other than just the graphs on the portal? Because we are not supposed to do R3000 per month as a two person household that SWITCH OFF THEIR GEYSER and USES A GAS STOVE INSTEAD OF THE ELECTRICAL STOVE.
