Hello! My water bill was 120€ for this month and I live by myself. Is it really possible that it is that much?!

Assuming there are no obvious leaks and this is unusally high for you:
1. check your flushing
2. check your water tank isn’t leaking into some dran you’re not seeing
3. If you’re in a block of apartments, naturally make sure there isn’t a leak in the shaft.
It’s not a crazy high bill so if it’s a leak it might just be a small trickle, but obviously one that’s gone on for a month can add up. My first stop would definitely be the fluching, it’s the easiest thing not to notice.
My service charge is usually 10
Consumption was always 20€ until we got a reverse osmosis and it changed to 35€
This for every 2 months with 3 ppl living
Check previous bills, you may have been on estimates and now it’s a real reading so it got true’d up. If you just started renting, you may be paying what the previous renter didn’t pay.
Also make sure that you are on the residential tariff
See if this website helps.

In my case it helped my identify that there was water usage at night which indicated a leak. Eventually the leak was found and fixed.
Possibly a leak. As advised check your toilet cistern, water reservoir etc. I’d also record the readings over a period of. A few days just to see if there is truly excessive water consumption or maybe a mistake in the readings
