How much is your water bill?

[Allnewtometoo]

And are you on a meter?
How many family members etc...

I'm one adult, 2 primary dc.
No shower but we share baths. Not every day
4-5 loads of washing a week.

Not on a meter.
£74 a month.

We pay twice yearly and it’s usually around £250. We’re on a meter and are a three adult household. We only have showers, the washing machine is used perhaps four times weekly and I try to run the dishwasher every 2-3 days.

I’m interested to see if our usage has decreased much since our other son moved out in April, the bill we received in May covered him still living here. He used a lot of water though. I don’t think we’ll be paying less though considering the price rises.

Three adults all showering at least once a day (twice if exercising). Dishwasher once a day. Washing machine around 5 times a week. Irrigation system in garden during the summer. Flush the toilet after every use. If we need to use water - we use it. On a meter - my last 6 monthly bill was just under £200.
That’s slightly less than my neighbour (identical house but lives alone) who refuses a meter and pays around £50 per month (she just cannot believe that a meter would save her money).

We are with Thames Water.

£80 a month. Not on a meter.

£36 pm newbuild, on a meter, 3 bed semi, 2 adults 1 kid, 2 dogs.

£46 a month, not on meter. 2 adults and a dog Thames Water area.

Have you checked for a leak? You could have one between the meter and your property bitter experience.

Before meter £900 for the year, normal sized 3 bed house

Now on a meter I pay £39 a month

No idea why it was so high

Good grief. Ours is £800 ish per year. House is a normal 3 bed semi in a cheaper area. I feel scammed 😮

Not metered. Severn Trent. For water and sewage.

The credit is due to quarterly bills and monthly DDs.
The payments add up then they bill every Nov, Feb, May and Aug.

I pay monthly as Santander 123lite gives me 3% cashback on water bills. Free £21 a year just for paying monthly DD

Water bills are very variable by area, ours is £42 a month by meter, Anglian Water, 2 retired adults

I used to pay £55 a month and then changed to £89 a month few months ago and it’s metered.
Me
husband
3 teenagers and 10year old
we all shower everyday
washing machine x 5 loads every week
dishwasher once a day

As someone previously mentioned, standing charges are about £27/£28 per quarter for metered properties (in my area anyway) so if you're one of those paying tiny amounts monthly but you're using an average amount of water, your meter may be busted. They're designed so that when they break they either stop reading completely or start reading backwards so customers aren't overcharged when they inevitably come to the end of their shelf life until they're replaced. Interestingly, it can take a very long time for that to happen.

We are 2 adults, 2 kids and big ol' dog (no dishwasher) and use about £42 per month. This is considered below average for the area - and I rung and asked them to increase it a bit so we're paying £48 just so we have a buffer incase water usage increases for some reason. I do the same with electric and gas - usually end up with a decent little refund once a year when they review the plan.

Anybody struggling with their water bills, check their website for support schemes or call & just ask if there's any way to reduce your bill. There are schemes for those with medical conditions, income based schemes, number of children in a household based schemes, and so on, but they all vary by area - or they can just give you a comparison of rateable value charges versus metered for your region if you'd like the up to date info.

Cheers
