How much do you pay for water?

chelseablue

We moved into our house in February, this is the first property we have lived in that has water on a meter.


We pay £23 a month for a 3 bed house


I thought this was too good to be true, but we are both out all day 5 days a week


Can I be nosy and ask how much you pay for water and what type of property is that for?

We pay £20 a month for a 3 bed detached.

But we moved from an apartment & thats what our monthly bill was there & we were on a meter, so I think they have just carried it over to the house, we may well get re assessed come next financial year & end up paying differently.

There is 2 of us, only difference is now we have 2 gardens to maintain & facillities to wash our car. So we are using more water.

Were not on a meter (so i can water garden and wash cars all the time) and i think its about £300 per year, does yours include waste as well?

We used to pay £44 a month for a 2 bed flat, no garden to water :eek:


But that didn't have a meter

Yes £23 a month all in

I remember reading somewhere that if there is less adults than bedrooms then a water meter is normally cheaper.

Thank you, I didn't know that.
We're 2 adults, 1 child, so one of our bedrooms is empty

I pay £37.83/month, not on a meter. This is a 2 bed semi (soon to be 3 bed) with 2 adults and 1 child (soon to be 2 children). After reading what other people are paying I feel a bit robbed :-D

£14 a month for a metered two-bed flat with one person living in it.

Oh how I wish my water was only as much as you pay OP (and others!). Mine is around £55 a month. This is for a three bedroom semi in the North Wesy (United Utilities are our supplier). We have a wetroom downstairs as well as the family bathroom upstairs. I pay by direct debit (think I get about a fiver a year knocked off) and there are no debts on the account (in case anyone thinks I'm paying arrears off - I'm not).

I live with my two teenage sons, one disabled (hence the wetroom). I don't think we use an excessive amount of water.

£40/month via direct debit (we are on a meter) for 4 bed house, two bathrooms, 2 adults, 2 children.
