Water bill

[Jack2jack]

Just had mine £870 just applied to go on a meter, fuck that.

I think I maybe doing the same. Fvcking madness.

 

[Jack2jack]

Gone from £89 a month to £119 a month.
That's 34% increase.

I thought mine was bad enough. Shocking mate.

I recon they’re going to be very busy fitting them over the coming months. Ribbing bastards.

If they could find a way to tax oxygen I’ve no doubt they’d do that as well.

Exactly, I don't mind paying my dues, but that is ridiculous. I havent looked at a meter,as the bill has just dropped on the mat.

I done two estimates, one with Dwr Cymru and an independent site, and they both came back as paying half what I am now if I go on a meter. No brainer mate.

Our bill went from about 90 a month to 40 a month when we changed to a meter about a year ago. There are usually 3 of us in the house and 4 when youngest is home from uni. If there are less than 4 it is a no brainer unless you have a swimming pool

I think we will have to get that, our water statement arrived a few days ago, without rechecking it at least 20 quid extra a month. So pushing near the 70 mark a month now,

Mine up to £909. I nearly fell over when I opened the bill last week. I now live on my own after 2 recent family deaths, so will be getting a water meter in quick sharpish. I just need to jet wash the drive, patio and paths beforehand.

We use gallons and gallons a day here, washing machine is on most days plus the other water uses, be counter productive to have a water meter here.

Just had a look at our last bill, we’re consuming approximately 250 litres a day on average. This translates into a monthly bill of £37.

 

[Jack2jack]

Ours up from £466 to £628. Will be less of an increase over the next 4 years apparantly. Robbing sods. Next on the agenda is the Council Tax increases, Can't wait for that!

Council tax rise here in Swansea will be just under 6%, not bad considering.
They also have a load more money for road maintenance, which is much needed.

I wouldn't have a clue, not having a meter.
Is 250 litres a day above or below average.
Ok so just below average for two people that is.(just googled it).

There is an online calculator that gives a pretty good estimate of your usage

Anyone considering getting a water meter - they let you move back to rates after you've had the meter for 12 months. You can then work out which is more economical. After 12 months, you can never go back to rates.
