    Heya everyone! I am interested in seeing what everone else pays. I have thought about going on a meter for a while now but had completely forgotten about it. I have just had the new bill through and am looking at about £38 per month for water and sewage and it is just me and the DD who is 11. Occasionally the boyf pops over and has a bath, shower and uses the washing machine, but even then, if I implemented a few 'save water' ideas, I might still be able to save??? That is an awful lot and we don't use much at all really...xxx

    We live in Yorkshire and have a meter. 2 adults in a house with garden and we should be paying £22 they worked out but they didn't bill us for the first 6 months we lived here (despite us trying very hard) - new build house - so we're currently paying the arrears. We've been keeping an eye on readings and reckon we'll end up about £25 a month when everything sorts itself out.

    Ours is £54 a month and would be over £100 if we had a meter as neighbours have tried it. Total rip-off.

    2 adults in a 2 bed flat in South East costs me about £23 pcm (which includes drainage which is paid to another company!)
    Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.

    3 bed semi occupied by 2 adults and 3 children here and ours is £39 pm on meter. I didnt realise we were on a meter and I now make sure we are careful with water. Still havent found the blasted water meter, it isnt anywhere anyone has suggested lol.

    It could be out under the pavement (under little triangle cover) as my Mum's is like that.
