Cost of water in Nottingham?

Rich33

I am moving into a studio apartment soon and I am curios to find out how much water will be each month?

the post code is NG7 1HH

not sure if it is on a water metre or not.

Any ideas? The apartment is very small, using a shower for 10 mins, washing machine once a week and general washing up and hand washing etc.

Without knowing if its metered or not, no-one can tell you.
If it's not metered, you'll need to find out the RV (rateable value), which the agent can tell you. You can then calculate the annual bill from that.

You have no idea then as a rough guess?

Rough guess? between £150 and £600 a year!

Seriously, nobody can hazzard a guess without knowing if:

you have a meter,

your charges are based on the Rateable value,

you have an assessed charge,

you pay for surface water drainage,

how many live in the apartment

Call Severn Trent water and ask them as they are the only ones who can answer your question based on the info you have.

They will also be able to tell you if you have a meter and it's location etc

Don't be so sensible ! It's much more fun to ask an extremely wooly question then spend several days fielding the responses from people who are trying to make sense of the first post ....................

I live around that area, don't have a meter and my bill with Severn Trent is around £380 per year.

I imagine a studio apartment will have a lower rateable value than my small house, so I would estimate lower costs if not metered. If metered then obviously it depends how much you use.

As others have said, you really need to speak to Severn Trent for a better estimate.

The size of the property is absolutely no indication of it's rateable value. The only way the OP can find out is to call ST.
OP appears to have taken on the flat without a very clear idea of all the overheads/utility costs involved, see other posts re electricity, broadband-dare I mention council tax, insurance too?...welcome to the joys of independent living.
