Hi all,

How much should an average water bill be a month for 2 adults in a 3 bed semi?

Thanks

    Mine is 240 a year, so with a meter. So £20 a month

    No meter, it depends on the rateable value of your property at a certain time way in the past, cant remember when.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    No average depends upon region and as above meter or RV .
    Mine circa £25o with meter on RV no meter system it would be about £650 PA .
    Note some regions could be twice that amount .

    If you're a customer of SW Water you're probably paying a lot more than the rest of the country. Severn Trent, 2 adults, we pay £25 per month on a meter. My father is with SW Water but, because they can't fit a water meter and he is a single householder, he pays something like £90 per year.

    As others have said it depends where you live and whether you've got a water meter. We've got a water meter and it costs us around £27 a month with Anglian Water. If we were on a RV tariff (no water meter) it would be around £60-£65 a month.
    We have an automatic garden watering system which runs from April to September which probably accounts for around £5 a month.
    Never under estimate the power of stupid people in large numbers
  • We are an adult and teen and ours is 37 a month on a water meter.
