Average annual consumption per person in UK is around 55 cubic metres.m3
So 110m3 for two
United Utilities 2019/20 water charges are here:
https://www.unitedutilities.com/my-account/your-bill/our-household-charges-20192020/
So for 110m3 water will cost £211 (110 x £1.922)
Sewerage will cost £140 (110 x £1.269)
Standing charges are £38
Total = £389
In addition you could be charged an additional £73 or £32 for surface water drainage.
So if you pay £37 a month for 12 months(some water companies use a 10 month cycle in a year. You have around average costs0 -
For clarity probably the best way to answer this question is to quote actual consumption figures.
My wife and I (both retired pensioners) use on average 70 cu mtrs pa. On our metered Utd Utilities supply we pay a total of about £365 pa including surface and highway drainage charges.0
