... from city after some sort of "filtering".

...I drink a lot more tea and coffee when at the office than when working from home. That consumes more water to more energy and causes me to spend more time peeing as a result, which also consumes water when I flush.

So I would say the exact opposite of the water company, that my experience is that I use more water in the office than when I'm working from home.

if they are, as most British ones are, on an automatic flush schedule. Whereas using your toilet at home does mean an extra flush each time you use it. So I can see there could be a small rise in use when working at home, though 20% seems large - only half the population, far from everyone's working at home, not everyone uses urinals at work etc.
