Severn Trent water bill rise

Options
I’m not on a meter have 4 people in house with 3 bedrooms and one bathroom. My bill has gone up by nearly 18% but average rise is 7% for Severn Trent . How can it be so high. I’m sure year before 23/24 it went up by 14%. Do they know how much I am using

    If you have no meter, they have no idea how much you are actually using. So the amount they a billing you will be based on the council tax band that the house is in.

    Having a water meter for over 30 years in every house I've lived in has saved me a fortune.

    The rises are always higher for non-metered properties. That's just the way it is, I'm afraid.
