Charges for Sutton & East Surrey Water?

So I'm trying to get an idea of our future water costs as this is the first time I've lived in a place with a water meter.

We've done 2 cubic metres in 1 week, so roughly 104 of those a year, which is about average from what I can find online.

What I cannot find online is S & ES's pricing structure.

Could anyone please shed any light on to their price per cubic metre, and any other standing charges like meter readings and such?

Looks like they don't deal with sewerage, which is likely to be Thames Water then. No idea on those charges either.

Thanks!

I am on S&ES water meter. About 1 cu m per person per week is correct. From last years bill:-
Water standing charge £25.68 p.a. plus 114.023p Cu m.
Sewerage standing charge £47 p.a. plus 55.76p Cu m.
Unless there are mitigating circumstances, you waste water volume will be based on the supply volume.

Thats quite interesting. I'm with them and I'm unmetered. Pay £311 per year for supply and sewerage. On the basis outlined above I'd be paying £ 337 a year for a 3 person household. So unmetered is £26 cheaper.

If your unmetered how would you know what your usage would be or do you mean against an estimated usage ( which can be wrong ) ? RV charges can be cheaper then having a meter for a lot of people, it is for me.

Oh sorry I thought I'd said "on the basis outlined above" (1 m3 per person per week) and "for a 3 person household".

Sutton & East Surrey have a booklet about changing to metered. They think if you are less than 2.5 people in the house it would be worthwhile looking at a meter. You are probably better to stay un-metered unless you all shower and try to save water.
