What’s your current water bill?

[thisfilmisboring123]

Just had an email to say ours is going up to £64 from the end of May.
Family of 4 - wouldn’t say particular high usage family. Live in the West Midlands.

Just wanting to compare really.

I just paid mine. Was £99 for 6 months. I live alone and it is metered. Thames Water

They overcharged me last year by £1000. I formally complained in writing and did get it refunded. They brought it down to what it should be then just doubled it the last 3 months hence my call.

They really are arseholes and I urge people to challenge them and stand firm.

They had historically lied about meter readings. The meter is not accessible unless I move things around outside and they had said they'd been out and read it, when they hadn't, because it would be impossible to access it.

About 400 a year. West Midlands. Single person household. Dishwasher but no bath. On a meter

How are some of these so cheap??? £1300 per year and can't have a meter. And Thames water execs get huge bonuses while throwing loads of shit into the river.

55 pounds a month

3 people with a water meter

Mine has just been put up to 100 a month from 64. South West water and on a meter

If you’ve got fish or wildlife in it you shouldn’t top up a pond with treated tap water, get a water butt on your downpipes!

£70 per month for one adult (out all day). No car washing , occasional watering of tiny garden. I’m getting a water meter

Well, it was £35 per month, 3 people, smart meter, Thames Water, but then fencing contractor put a hole in my supply pipe and it shot up to £90 a month. Currently trying to sort that out…

Thames Water. Was £39 now £56.
insane increase. TW are shocking poor service, leaks everywhere, fst cat bonuses and you know we are gonna have a hose pipe ban!

£55 per month S.Wales. 3 adults at home. On a meter.

Ours is around £400 per year, we pay our bill twice a year and we’ve just had our 6 monthly bill for £189.00 , we are with Severn Trent on a meter

Goodness me! Looking at all of these I realise mine is very reasonable. £19 pm with Essex & Suffolk Water which includes sewage charges. Just me with a shower and a dishwasher. I only do a couple of loads of laundry around once a fortnight though as I have enough clothes to enable that. I have a water meter.

£40 per month metered. Two adults showering. United Utilities.

I think it's about £80 for 6 months, £45 of that is standing charges.

£66 a month, 5 person household, Severn Trent

£267 p. a.

I have water butts for car washing & the garden.

I'm with Thames Water. It's just gone up from £59 monthly to £77 monthly for a 3 person household. My water usage hasn't gone up.

There talking about trying to bring it in again.. they can sit and swivel

I’m genuinely baffled at the variance on these charges. How can they possibly justify the regional differences in price?

We pay Sutton and east Surrey water £25pcm for ours. 4 of us, including a sewage charge payable to Thames Water.

£61
4 bed house
3 of us.

Thames Water - ours has gone from £45pm 18 months months ago when we weren’t on a meter to £72om this month now that we are. Four bed house with us and two adult DCs.

When I was unmetered I was paying £40pm. I paid that for years and now it works out about £16pm. I feel like a fool.
But I get some people can't get meters for various reasons.

£0 (spring-fed water supply and septic tank), but:

Just booked to have cesspit emptied and septic tank sludge removed: £450 (admittedly only second time in 15 years we have had to do this)
About to have second visit from plumber this year to investigate lack of water pressure: £~800 so far this year (and I would say £500-£1,000 per annum on repairs and maintenance is normal)

Another with Essex and Suffolk Water but not as cheap as the last poster! Ours is £47pm, 2 people with a meter.
