To ask how much is your water bill? If you are on a meter

[Florence4170]

Just that! - how much is your monthly bill please?

But don't you think that water meters are fairer because then every household pays for what they use, whereas a flat fee based on rateable value bears no relation to the amount used? Water should be metered the same way fuel is.
For example I now live alone in a 4 bed house and changed to a meter several years ago. My water usage is massively lower than when my 2 children lived here with all the extra showers, baths, clothes washing, dishwashing etc. I have garden water butts, no hot tub.

Yet if I wasn't metered I'd pay the same as my neighbour with 2 adults and 3 children in their house, no water butts, wash 2 cars every week. How can that be fair?

Oh dear!

Does that explain your username?!?!??!

I live by myself in a three bedroom house. I get a single household discount on my water rate as well as in the council tax.

I just feel an awful lot of sympathy for eg families where a member has a health conditions that requires extra laundry and showers etc.

I hate to think of people not being able to afford to use water when it seems such a basic human right to have access to it.

£62 a month. Metered and Yorkshire water is supplier. 4 bed house, two occupants.

I use approx. 26m3 per year so I pay around £19 per month and I'm generally in a few quid credit when the bill comes in. Wessex Water.

Dishwashers use less than washing by hand.
Teens do seem to use a lot of water at least girls do in my experience!

£76 a month because south west water are a bunch of cxxts

See I don't understand this as everyone I know locally ( South west water) has had their bill double or close to double with the recent rises.

I just challenged Thames Water on the increase given we would build up a huge credit with the increase, and they refused to alter the DD, I've had to move to full bill payment instead.

If you wash up by hand under a running tap, yes, but if you use a bowl of hot soapy water and rinse quickly - no.

Stop the long showers!

Same. No long showers, full loads of washing only, large water butt for watering garden.

£109.92

2 adults, 1 teen and 1 baby

Mine is so expensive compared to others! I do have a massive bath though that I’m partial to most days.

£135 per month metered Yorkshire water 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

2 adults 2 teens. I have appealed, checked for leaks etc but not budging.

Our direct debit was set too low last year so paying back that plus this year usage.

£72 a month, 2 adults 3 teen DC. Thames water

we have the dishwasher on twice a day and I like a deep bath

If it's empty you can have it switched off.
I did this

🤣 @Beachtastic no. Not in this case. Much like others. Two teens. One baths daily. One having daily long showers that I have now asked him to curtail. I’m happy they wash well every day but I think the youngest could still have a very good shower that didn’t take 45mins. We do have to water a lot of plants and our garden daily from May to August so that might be another reason. Hey ho. I really hope to see it get better one day.

£25 per month. Topsham. South West Water, meter. Single woman, no dishwasher, yes washing machine, have NEVER washed my car. Tiny unwatered garden.

I previously rented an unmetered 2 bedroom flat in Sidmouth, SWW bill for the year approximately £900. Apparently the locals are shafted for the tourist usage.

£41, 3 adults and 2 kids so lots of showers and laundry plus I wfh as a dog groomer so I use a lot bathing dogs.

OMG

£56, and has recently increased by about a third.

I’m with Yorkshire Water. Mine is going up from £40 to £61 next month. Just me and adult son in the house

£53 I'm paying it over 10 months this year and was only paying £18 last year.

Currently use an average of £43 a month which i think is high but then I have long showers and a couple of loads of washing most days (smelly gym kit can't sit in the basket).

They reckon i should be paying £83 though!

£33.36 per month (includes separate sewerage charge) regardless of how much water I use (there is just me here).

I am on an assessed charge because I live in the bottom half of an old detached Edwardian villa. When the conversion into two dwellings was done in the 1950s, they cobbled the pipework so upstairs and downstairs can't be properly separated at the one inlet pipe at the boundary.

I feel extremely fortunate and quite often use the hosepipe in a very profligate manner (no bans here on the south coast) simply because it won't cost me anymore...

Yup, I'm in a Cornish holiday spot so that sounds right
