We used to be using £16 water a mth now we use £52 a mth of water since having my daughter. Our consumption hasnt gone up that much surely.

Ok we have an extra 2 loads of washing a week but not much else has changed.

Accoring to our lates bill our average daily usage is 0.37 cubic metres, for a family of 3. does anyone know if this sounds about right?
Wins so far this year: Mum to be bath set, follow me Domino Dog, Vital baby feeding set, Spiderman goody bag, free pack of Kiplings cakes, £15 love to shop voucher, HTC Desire, Olive oil cooking spray, Original Source Strawberry Shower Gel, Garnier skin care hamper, Marc Jacobs fragrance.

    For 3 people the average annual consumption should be between 150 and 180 cubic meters, so yours at 135 cu mtrs is a little below average.

    However prices vary across the UK by a great deal, and sometimes on the type of house and surface water drainage charges.

    SW England have the highest charges.

    However as discussed in another thread your rise from £15 to £52 is probably because £15 was too low and you built up a debit balance.
