That's nuts man -- we do 2x showers and 1 toddler bath each day minimum. Hot water comes on twice a day for an hour.You a soap dodger?Ours is £50 a month for the two of us

oh wow, i've just called SE Water cos I was a bit concerned how little I been paying. Only get charged a bill annually and it's not due until April. My last account in old address (1yr ago) was closed and I had a credit from that. So they based my DD on the credit and usual usage. SO no idea what I am actually paying/going to be owing until that bill comes in

Nope, as 2 people in a 3-bed with 2x bathrooms and 3x toilets, meter is cheaper than what our estimated usage would be.
So you don't think everyone should have a meter.

I think they should (estimates are garbage), I was commenting that not everyone who could go the estimate route would necessarily want to.
I will probably get one fitted once our two grow up a little bit, at the minute were doing loads of single item washes twice daily sometimes. My clothes are one wash every 2 weeks. Its the jetwashing the cars and patio that use the most and we want rid of the wetroom to get a bath so thats going to be even more water.

Well no one has made me feel better about my bill. I’m still struggling to understand it unless we’re paying for half the village…no leaks so not sure what to do other than suck it up and pay.

Mines going up to £65 from £37. Somehow my usage has gone from 108m3 to 162m3. No leaks, dripping toilets or taps as far as I know.

Just seen your op, that's nearly half a ton of water every day.
Have you turned everything off in the house for an hour checking the meter before and after?
Yeah, last week, for 2 hours, the meter didn't move...

We're at £24/month combined usage and wastewater.
Usage averages 250l per day.
2 people, averaging 2.5 showers per day.
Slim dishwasher used every other day.
Toilet flushing a bit higher than average for 2 people due to using flushable cat litter.
Roughly 2 loads of laundry each week.

That's nuts man, get a meter
Over the year we're averaging £66 per month for supply and sewage.
That's two people and we very rarely wash cars but we do water our garden borders in the dryer months as the plants really suffer otherwise and that adds 50% compared to the winter months bill (the 92.5% supply to wastewater ratio is really unfair for people with significant garden watering).

2 adults and a toddler, averages out at around £22pm. Affinity Water sent me an email saying we were "low users" averaging 65l per person per day.
I use a fair amount in the garden but this comes from 1800L of water butts that get topped up throughout the year.
I think only in the really hot summer the other year I had to resort to the tap for a couple of weeks after they ran dry.

£48 a month on a water meter, for 3 adults. I thought that was extortionate but looking at what most other people in here are paying perhaps not.
I dare say that will be going up to pay for their dumping sewage in the rivers.
