to ask how much is your water bill.

[yorkie11]

We are on a meter and pay 6 monthly. Our bills tend to be in the region of £200 to £250 six monthly. This sounds really expensive. We are a family of 5 btw.
Just wondered what others pay and how many people are in the household.
Thank you

We are a family of 4 living in wales and are on a water meter. We pay 6monthly and previous bills have been £200ish but most recent bill was £432 for 6mnths! Which seems excessive. We have tested for a leak but there wasnt 1. According to records we have used 5000 litres of water in the past 9days!

Just had a 6 month bill ... £77. Live alone and on a water meter!

£69 a month, not on a meter but wondering I'd be better off on one after reading this thread...

Where you live definitely makes a difference. We're not on a meter, where we lived before we paid £330/year we moved and now we pay £660/year. My friend moved and now pays £900/year.

She moved to a different water company area and is very near the coast. I'm with the same water company I was with before and closeish to the coast.

Living near the sea definitely seems to increase your water bill!

£37 per month. Single person household, no meter. I have thought about asking for meter but scared in case it ends up costing more.

Thames Water, water meter. £19 d/d. 2adults, 1 kid. 3 loads of washing per week, dishwasher x 2 per week. Mainly showers. Bath for dc 3 times per week max. Always turn off tap when brushing teeth. Insist the rest of them do the same.
Rule of thumb is if there are more people than bedrooms don’t get a meter if the offsite is true, have a meter installed.

frogfairy get a meter installed. You’re paying far too much.

Thanks for the advice. Will get it sorted ASAP.

I pay £19.95 a month by direct debit I live alone and have baths and showers.

£5 a month, single person on a meter. (Also £20ish a year on shared septic tank upkeep).

1 adult 2 children, 4 bed 3 storey property, £16 a month metered with Dwr Cymru.

About 35 per month per person (the number of people in the house varies), but we have a RO filter which uses a lot of water.

Sarahjo04 that happened to us; our bill doubled one quarter. We had a leak in one of the toilets, it was constantly tricking into the toilet bowl. Seemed really insignificant, it was so slow you couldn't even heat the water running. But we marked the water in the cistern and timed how long it took to drain out, it was using 1/3 of a cubic metre per day, which was equivalent to our entire water use! Investigate any leaks, quickly. We wasted £200 in water charges on that bloody toilet, far more than the plumber cost to fix it.

Family of 3 here and we pay £26 a month so £312 a year

We’re on a meter & have just had a reading taken & direct debit reduced to £34 a month (I’ve increased it back up again to our original amount because I hate being in debit!). We’re a family of 4, 2 adults & 2 children. DH has a bath every morning, kids bath or shower either alone or together every other day & I shower every day. We have a dishwasher that goes on each day & tend to do a load of washing every day.

£100 a year, but we are on a spring, so pay for servicing ( pumping, water testing) not the water itself.
