just wondering, but...

... are there any answerbankers out there can tell me if they are paying about £400 per year for water as I do ?
( I am living alone in a flat, out working five days a week ) Seems a bit steep to me. I wonder how it compares with an average. Thanx in advance !

That's a lot . I had a recent bill for £111 for 6 months . I too live alone in a one bedroom flat but don't work - not that i think that really matters . It's washing machines , showers / baths which cost rather than kettles that add up .

My water rates is more than that.

Are you metered?

We are not metered so can't really compare, but I did have a friend, a few years ago, who was metered and managed to get away with £5 a month. She was a bit tight admittedly, but she had to use a washing machine, shower etc (yes she was always clean!), so I think £33 a month which is what you are paying, seems a lot.

Sounds a lot- I pay £600 but that's for a band D property. My water rates have increased by nearly 25% in the last 2 years and apparently there's worse to come- yet United Utilities are making huge profits. I think the water companies are fooling the regulators

I currently pay £460 per annum and as there is just lil ol' me here, I'm having a water meter fitted soon.... The Water Company have advised me that my bill should then drop down to about half of that (obviously this depends on usage).
