Mine has never been so high! It’s on a meter but at the end of the payment year ( March/apkril I think it was) I got £700 Back due to overpayment

What does everyone else pay?

£17.47 per month. Not metered, 2 of us in a 4 bed detached house. Showers daily, 3-4 loads of washing per week, normal amounts of washing up etc. Horrified at some of the sums being quoted on here. Eek!!

£40 a month at the moment, but that was increased because we used more than their original DD amount allowed for, so we were paying effectively for 18 months usage.

I reckon it should go down to around £32ish from December.

£23 1 adult 3 bed

[quote CatsOutOfTheBag]@fluffycloudland77. Can you explain more about surface water??

I had a roof put on my house from a flat roof, and they dug a soakaway in the front garden for the rainwater from the new roof. The rain from the back goes into a barrel for the garden. Does this mean I can get a refund too??

Possibly, you need to ring them and start the process.

I wouldn’t mention the water butt, they don’t count.

Hi from another one suffering the extortionate Cornish water costs.
Sherin18 · 26/11/2020 23:20

£37

5zeds · 26/11/2020 23:27

£50 pcm metered for 6. Mostly showers but endless laundry and dishwasher.

PhilCornwall1 · 27/11/2020 03:45

@Snozzlemaid crazy what they charge down here isn't it. We keep being told to go on a meter, but with an 18 year old who lives in the shower and the endless clothes two teens generate for washing, we are avoiding that at the moment.

I'm in Scotland and just looked it up and I pay £138 for water and £160 for waste water so a total of £298 a year.

The highest charge in my area is £414 for water and £480 for waste water so £894 a year.

It's added on to the council tax bill.

Pemberleys · 27/11/2020 05:09

Wow this is an eye opener. I'm in Scotland so it's a standard change as part of my Council Tax.

I had no idea people were charged by usage elsewhere. I guess that's privatisation for you.
