Just got my bill, United Utilities, £552 this year, over £100 more than last year. Outrageous 😡

Essex and Suffolk Water, £16 a month, 1 adult, 1 child with disabilities so lots of water usage, and no meter as they don't know where the supply comes into the house and think all of the houses might share a common supply.

£719 for the year, up from £630 last year Angry

For some odd reason our payments are over 8 months of the year only, so we pay a smidge under £90 per month for those 8 months.

Am very jealous of many of you

2 of us pay £18 a month. We save as much as possible eg collect shower water in a bucket for flushing. I do a full shower less often and make clothes last longer.

I have just found this thread after opening my water bill. Wait for it ..... £1,662.55 per year!

We are in the north west with United Utilities. To be fair, we do have a small swimming pool. Even so, we don't refill it every year, just top it up in the summer. And almost £1k of the total amount is drainage.

We did look into a meter, but apparently we would need two (with two standing charges) and some pretty messy work (which could damage our property) to fit them.

NW and 45 a month

I pay £12 pcm to Portsmouth Water for clean and £21 pcm for Southern Water for waste. Non metered as I do so much washing (uniforms all round!) Southern Water told me I would be better off without one haha!

I think ours is about £30-£40 a month (DH pays). Everyone in the road had letters telling us we had to have a meter but then they realised they can't do it for any of the maisonettes so we'll be staying on rates.

£48 pm. Not metered. Midlands.
One adult two kids in a 70s style 3 bed semi

My water charges dropped a huge amount when I got put on a water meter (they did the whole street) - Thames water. It’s 83p a day now so about £25 a month. Unmetered paid about £70.
3 of us I don’t do anything which i would consider to be over the top to save water. We shower/bath almost every day. I don’t wash cars or water the garden much, kids taught not to leave taps on. Use the washing machine and dishwasher most days sometimes more than once.

640 odd for the year. Severn trent

No idea. I am in Scotland.

£18 per month for a small, unmetered, house with Yorkshire Water. We have a septic tank though so don't pay any drainage at all.

It's crazy how hugely different these amounts are - particularly for those not on meters, so it isn't a reflection of how much you are using, like other utilities are.
