be glad you aren`t with wessex water. We used 19 cu m and paid £104. You used 96 cu m and paid £301

Your bill would be £525 with wessex water

You seem to have ignored the standing charges of Wessex water of £65pa.

You are not charged well over £5 per cubic metre

ok standing charge plus cost of water = £104 for 19 cu m

ooh I do love being pedantic

Pedantic? Do you not understand that your earlier post was totally incorrect?

You forgot about the standing charge and calculated the cost of your water as £5.47 a cubic metre(£104 divided by 19).

You then used £5.47 x 96 to come up with a figure of £525 for the OP's bill with Wessex water.

Well if you had used 1 cubic meter pa, your bill would have been approx £68. So using your unique calculation method the OP's bill with Wessex would have been £6,528.00!

P.S.
You are lucky you are not with South West Water as their charges are far higher than Wessex water!!
