how much do you pay for water/sewage per month.

[piratecat]

I live in devon. Now when i lived in Londnon, the water bill wasone of those you'd get plopped thru the door every few months and it was about £70 for the year. This is about 8 yrs back.

It's me and dd6 here. On a mter and our bill is £30 a month. Plus it seems to cost twice as much to get rid of it (sewerage) than it does to use it.

I use the washing machine twice a week, have a shower only each day, and dd has a bath about 2-3 times a week.

This is for an approx 17 cubic metres. it's a bloody rip off.

Pay £18pm but we are in credit actual usage is about £16 - water meter

thats half mine then, how many use that> and where are you?

2 adults , 2 kids . About 5-6 loads of washing a week, dishwasher, showers etc. Sutton and East Surrey water, supply slightly higher than waste.

i am so at how the charges can differ. it's really rubbish.

£36 per month, I hate rip off merchants united utilities.

I'm in devon piratecat and at the mo we pay about £56 a month but thats for 4 of us. My mum and dad ,also in Devon live in a 2bed bungalow and pay£40 a month. Agree that wastage costs are stupidly massive.

anyone else?

i am in south devon, where are you sirius if you don't mond me asking!

No probs piratecat. I'm in North Devon.

well i don't understand it cos all it ever does here is bloody rain!!

We pay £35 per month - this is Yorkshire Water estimating we use 12 cubic metres per month. I don't have any idea as to whether this is good or not so will watch with interest.

£55 per month for 5 of us with Thames Water - the water goes off at least every other month because the electricity substation needs updating!

Yes we have very high water bills, about £50dd, also in South Devon

We are not metered though

There was a reason, something to do with keeping the coastline maintained, but that might not be right

our water is often brown, it's rubbish really

We pay about £60x8 - you can work out the maths for that.

We do of course get liquid gold instead of water.

And no, we don't live in a high house with 10 kids. It is a lot more than our last address (about 20 min walk away).

We are metered. When we received a bill asking for over £1000, alarm bells started to ring. We had previously paid £16 per month. After much correspondence and many, many telephone calls, it turns out we were supplying the house but one to us(they weren't metered). Holy shit! Set of robbing b***ds!!!!!

lurker, we are prob using the same company!!

i said in my original op that i pay 30 per month, i have now realised that it's my 'quarterly' bill of 17 cubic metres (not my monthly) they base this on.

so 6 cubic meters is costing me £30.

surely cheaper to buy it bottled

Latest bill has us using 38 cubic metres per half,so not dissimilar to pc.

water costs vary hugely across the country. I don't really know why different areas have such different operating costs, or why it seems the cities where you might expect supply to be difficult on account of their size (London, Birmingham) seem to be among the cheapest places.
