Water Bill Increase From Last Year (non meter)

Lady_K

I haven't paid any of my water bill yet this year and I looked at it today and noticed it has increased by almost £43 I think thats a lot why has it increased by this much? It's not a meter it just seems a big increase to me. It's Severn Trent

Last year it was £243.78
This year its £287.31

I've stayed at the same ratable value not sure what band that is but its saying ratable value £160
