O/T. Water rates.

Crikey that’s a lot.
I’m on a meter and just checked, am paying ?24 month.
Last year was ?36, so I must be using less.
As a general rule, if got larger household numbers then rates might be advantageous
Low numbers in house better off with a meter.

Mother in law moved next door about 7 year ago and we had a water meter fitted for her. She was paying ?28 for the first 3 years. That's her using my hosepipe to water her garden.
Her son moved back in with her usage/cost went up to ?47. Now ?52. which TBH was been about what I was paying.
I get things go up but ?250 more is taking the pizz.
5 peeps in the house plus I keep koi which requires water changes through the warmer months so maybe I'm paying what I should be.

Save money get showered / bath's at mother-in-laws, keep popping round for a cuppa, do the cooking at her home, save on water then for veg, plus your energy bills go down.
Jobs a good-un.

980quid , gone up 250quid . Time for a water meter.

Same here Crash over 20 years since was paying ?36 month, put water meter in total for year ?212.
A big saving, plus if you decide not to use the meter reading for paying your bill, & return to normal billing after 12 months, they just leave the meter in, this was in a 3 bedroomed house.
Now in a bungalow with water meter, ?26 a month.

Amendment mine 30 pounds per month.
