Our water rates were about £90 a month so we had a meter installed. Now paying less than £50 a month.

Ahh I made the mistake of not checking the flow rate so the system is out of order until I upgrade the pipe to 25mm plastic from the street

Shakes head in disbelief.

To be fair it's a job that needs doing the irrigation system just made me realise I need to speed up the process

What are your monthly rates non meter?

For the previous three x half year periods we have averaged 300 litres consumption per day. This equates to £40 bill per month.

Boyo has now flown the nest and headed off to uni. 25% of the household has moved out, consumption goes down by 25%. By this logic I expect bills to go down to £30 per month. This is at least £50 per month cheaper than traditional rates.

The standing charge might reduce the savings, but you should be quids in.

I pay around £500 a year on the meter, my 2 boys are still at home and they shower twice a day, it drives me mental, but I can’t be here all the time.

In water bill for the next year. Bit of a pîss take.

Thames Water are looking for a 40% increase in customer bills over the next 5 years as they struggle with their finances. Their debt level has increased significantly since they were privatised and they are struggling to pay the loans back. Not only that, their performance levels aren’t great.

It's totally unsustainable - funny how they privatise profit and socialise losses
