Not paying any water rates at the moment Gins keep on looking at my statement when it come in and they still owe me money so that's one less bill I have to worry about :-D :-D :-D

That's a lot cheaper than mine Jax

Last bills Total £213 for 6 months....slightly more than usual as we had problems with the toilet over flushing during that period

Cripes Linda!

I hope you enjoyed spending your refund :-)

When I Moved into my bungalow ten years there was a meter already installed, I Ilive on my own so the monthly bill was low a few years ago it shot up to £67 a month, now I'm away a lot I have to go down to my mums every two weeks for the weekend sometimes more if I'm needed. I don't have a bath I shower I use dishwasher twice a week same with washing. Water board came out to check I had no leaks, but when I had my statement in they owed me £500 pounds. UNBIEVEBLE.

Is the rateable value based on the house/suburb where we live?

That would explain why it's so high

If you are not on a meter then it is based on rateable value plus fixed charges.

I'm not on a meter and live in a three bed house, just the two of us now the children have left

What kind of monthly bills are other people receiving

Phyll

About the same as ours then

Our water and sewerage combined is £65.70 per month

Depends upon whether you are on a meter or not, how many are living in the property, rateable value if not on a meter etc etc. It does sound a bit high but difficult to answer without knowing specific details of course. My understanding was that you were not in a particularly big property so I would get it checked out.

Well we had the water meter installed last July .compulsory ! They didnt switch it over for 3 months

Had a letter about 3 weeks ago saying that each person in a household usually used 150 litres per day . so for our two person house that would be 300. We are using 216 litres. Based on the consumption being about the same our 6 month bill will be saving us £140plus on the charge they used to make using ratable value

Must say being on a meter does make you think about letting taps run etc as all the water going down the drain you are paying for

Water rates

Mine are £69.70 per month!

Seems not too long ago, they were about £27
