How much do you pay per month for water

[WhatsALieIn]

My monthly united utilities bill is £55
It’s not a water meter I just pay a monthly fee.

Is this normal?

I paid considerably more on a fixed rate than on a meter.

Fixed rate was £50-£60, on a meter I've fluctuated between £28 and £35.

I’m on a fixed rate and it’s £42 pcm

£25pcm here, no meter and we aren't on mains sewarage.

£39

Currently pay £16. However we were paying £80 as we had a damaged meter and no one would listen, finally sorted in February. Should be around £45-50.

For water and sewage, £80 pm on a meter, but have two teen boys who spend a lot of time in the shower and a gardening habit that can't possibly be the cause of such high bills

Are you asking if paying a fixed amount is normal if you aren't on a meter - yes it is

Or, is your amount normal - it's fixed in relation to your rateable value so normal doesn't come into it, it is what it is

We’ve just moved and it went from 30 to 50 w month. Whcih seems a lot for 2 people

About £22 on a meter

I've learnt from previous threads on this subject that water bills vary greatly across the country. London is cheap compared with many areas. We pay less than £20 per month, on a meter.

£50 could be normal for some areas.

£54 per month (fixed rate - not on a meter) but it’s for 10 months a year not 12.

I was paying £98 a month (over 8 months? Severn Trent on council tax e fixed. Now got a meter, Wessex water and it's £56 currently fir 2 normal adults (daily shower) and a water shy one (only when I nag)

£18.50 a month for a couple here

£133.80 a month. Not on a meter

£80 per month, standard rate. Bloody extortionate.

We're having a meter fitted next month which my water company tells me will probably half it. If not we've got 6 months to change our mind and ask them to remove it.

£72 a month. Welsh water.
5 of us and a combo boiler which takes minutes to give us hot water.
So no. Never will have a meter.

£24 per month. It decreased from £40 (water leak at the meter) just as I agreed to put it in my name 😀.

Family of 4, daily dishwasher and a few loads in the washing machine, nightly bath for the kids and daily shower for DH and I. I think it’s really cheap.

Depends where you live in the country. There isn’t a standard rate across the country which I think is unfair. The SW pays the highest water bills because of all the coastline, lower density of population and need for clean beaches. The bills were so high the government gave SW water customers all a £50 rebate on their annual bills. £55 a month would be considered low in the SW.

£26 fixed rate a month over 10 months so 260 a year

I pay £30 per month on a meter, but we are not on mains sewerage, so just pay for the water coming in.

I pay £27.79 a month with Severn Trent Water over 10 months. It went up from about £25 in April.

It's for a 3 bed house with 1 adult and 2 children.

Rateable value (fixed rate) is based on your property value/size much like council tax.

It can seem steep if you're low users of water but if you have a large family/love gardening/have a hot water tank that needs "running off"/like using paddling pools/swimming pools/hot tubs then rateable value will save you a fortune because once you've switched to a meter and the trial time expires there's no going back.

Given the choice I'd have rateable value over a meter to not be stressed about using water. It's the only utility that has this potential option of fixed rate no matter the usage.

Nothing. We're not on mains water.

Nothing. It comes for free from the sky and sits in big tanks in the garden.

Had to pay for a water delivery maybe once in the past 5 years during a v dry summer £150.

£8 a month for a couple on a water meter. We only have a shower not a bath otherwise normal usage, wash cars etc. That doesn't include sewerage though.
