How much is your water bill?

[christmasunicornvine]

They've just wanted to change my DD from £33 to £67. I live in a 2 bed there is 2 adults and 1 2 year old.

Adults having a shower or bath each day and 2 year old small bath every other day. Do around 4 loads of washing per week and have a dishwasher which is used roughly every other day.

This is very similar to a previous house I lived but I'm concerned why it's gone up so much. Can anyone tell me in relation to their set up whether this sounds about right?

I'm in a new build if that's makes any difference.

Flat rate, 35pcm. North East.

£15pm. 2 bed flat, no garden, 2-3 lots of washing a week. No dishwasher. I shower twice a day and DS has a bath every other night.

East Midlands.

2 adults, daily showers and washing 4 times a week.
was 69 a month on rates but just switched to a meter and its 25 a month now

No water bill here.

£28 per month on a meter. 2 adults, 2 kids.
Im shocked at £60+ per month!

£34 per month, on a meter. Daily baths and washing machine once a day.

£43 per month - 2 adults, 3 dc aged 8-11 and about 5 washing machine loads a week plus we have a hot tub although we only fully empty it once a year we do part water changes throughout the year.

Between £45 and £55

£38.84 over ten months, three bed terrace, two adults three kids dishwasher and washing machine.

That’s more than I thought actually. I was convinced it was £33.

£42 a month on water rates rather than metered supply.

£42 a month on rates here, it would be more expensive to go on a meter.

£16 a month. 3 bed house and 5 of us.

Supply only, my last bill was £207 for the year.
Can't have a water meter fitted, they tried but couldn't fit one, so I'm on an assessed rate I think which makes it cheaper than standard rates, but not as cheap as a water meter would be. I used to be on one in my old place, and my water bills were half of what I pay now.

There's four of us, no dishwasher or shower. Washing done every day.

Used to be about £35/month, 2 adults, one child, lots of washing and dishwasher use, now £45 unmetered in the Midlands

3 bed, three people. Two long showers for DP and I and a very short one for DD unless she is washing her hair. No dishwasher. £26 highest it's ever been. On a meter. You're being ripped off or your baths are in swimming pools

The trouble is we might be being ripped off but we have no choice in the matter. We have to pay for whatever company supply water and sewerage systems in your area.
Here in Cornwall, South West Water's charges are astronomical compared to a lot of the country. We have to pay to keep our extensive coastline clean as well as our home supply and drainage.
We pay £100 a month for ten months of the year. A huge total of £1000 a year.
I've done the calculator for switching to a meter and we've got more people living here than we have bedrooms so we'd pay more apparently.

Water meter here with two adults and one teen, another adult when dc is home from uni. Daily use of dishwasher, showers, bath once a week for dh and about 8 loads of laundry a week.

£14 pm for supply and waste water.

Wow I knew ours was expensive but it’s ridiculously expensive compared to all of these!

About £16 a month. Two adults.

might be worth trying a meter still.. you can get it removed after a few months if it isn't working out cheaper for you.
