And how big is your household?

    Had £44-ish before we got a meter. Now, with a smart meter, we’re paying £38 a month. 2 people, West London.

    We’ve just had an updated water bill, where we’re going to be paying £123/month. It wasn’t that long ago where we we paying £60/month and I thought that was a lot!

    We’re a family of four, apparently using 667 litres per day - however I think this was down to a leaky toilet which we’ve only just had fixed, as at the first half of 2024 we were using under 500 litres per day. Just curious what others are paying?

    Last quarter I paid Southern £97 for 44m³ of water and Thames £92 to remove 44m³ of waste.

    This is a house of 4, 2 adults and two teens.

    [Edit] Apparently 250l a day. That feels like a lot, but I don’t have any leaking toilets or anything like that.

      According to Untied Utilities, the average 4 person household uses 450L a day!

      As you can see, we had a sudden jump in 2024…

  • Ours is in a weird “payment split over eight months” instead of twelve, for some reason.

    Anyway, it’s just leapt up to £464 a year from £344 a year (equivalent to jumping from ~£28 per month to ~£38 per month).

    Not on a meter, and have no idea if it would make it cheaper.

    There’s two of us (humans) currently, though there were three for most of last year. I think the cats have their own arrangements for bathing and don’t affect the water bill much.
