water rates

Does anybody know if you can change your water supplier? My bills are always really expensive, but all I ever use it for is a shower and doing the washing up. Its ridiculous.
Thanks in advance :D

    No you can't change supplier.

    Are you on a meter?
  • So you don't use water for drinking, flushing the toilet, cleaning, cooking, watering indoor and/or outdoor plants, washing clothes then?

    Do you have any leaks?

    Also how long do you spend in the shower? and do you know your shower flow rate?

    Shower flow rates can vary massivley from ~ 4l/minute to over 15l/min which means a 6 minute shower could use anywhere between 24 to 90 litres per shower.

    Many people are surprised at their actual water usage, if you want to pay less get a meter, if you don't already have one, and have a look at your water company's website and see if they are giving away any free water efficiency products.
    There's no sense crying over every mistake.
    You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.
