Hope not cos if his council area is like mine, we have to have our bins out PRIOR to 7am the day of collection. I occasionally hear bins rumbling about after 11pm and between 6 and 7am. I've got the police on speed dial though so I'm fine
How much is your water bill?

No idea, don't think I have ever looked at it.

Do your taps run with pure gold??
Ask South West Water... It's always been high since living in this part of the country (at various addresses)... As far as I can tell we don't waste water excessively
Is that fixed rate or metered?
If the latter then you should have a rough idea of how much water you are using.

Metered, they check it pretty regularly though and the occasional times I've checked it myself it seems close enough to what they have recorded
Before 7am on the day! That's insane - I thought only Sainsbury's made noise before 7am?Hope not cos if his council area is like mine, we have to have our bins out PRIOR to 7am the day of collection.

£32, down from £33 a month. Such a saving!

Under £200 a year on a water meter. A saving of over £150 a year if I was still on old unmetered water rates.
Blimey, how does it compare to your neighbours etc? There's paying over the odds for utilities etc, then there's that! That's getting on for the costs of what you could call "luxuries" - like a Sky subscription or something

I think it is a little bit higher than some of our friends so we probably do waste a little water, but the average around here according to SWW is £45 I think and most people I know seem to be anywhere between £50 and £60 so it's definitely an expensive part of the country - it is because of the beaches, maintaining the quality swimming waters, at least that's what SWW claim

Just over £60 a month unmetered
Just had a look.
Been paying 31ppm for 18 months.
And in credit by 150.
So new dd is 11.5ppm
So I'm guessing we use 25ppm?
Whenever I've moved I've always insisted on a meter.
it's absolutely better to be on a meter for us. As the house is a 3 bed detached I'd be much higher projected figure without a meter

Aye mines £65 a month unmetered and likely to be half that metered (was in the old house). I feel however that one dodgy leaking toilet etc would cost me significantly, thus I haven't bothered (and in future likely to have kids etc)
Living in the south west which has the highest water rates. 1 bed flat a few years ago, £73pm unmetered, switched to a meter and paid £11 a month (living alone, working full time, using a launderette). Had an argument with SWW as 3 bed back in Sheffield was £35pm unmetered, no point really just ended up switching to a meter ASAP.
Now have a 3 bed terrace, 2 people, £85 unmetered, switched to a meter. Was £36pm now £50pm since wfh the past 16 months.

I went to check mine as wereve averaging 90 a month. There's a load of sand and cement covering the meter though
(has block paving fitted in april). I'm going to attack it this weekend to hopefully get at it.

My last one was £105 for six months. I think the highest it's been was about £120 over the same period. 4 bedroom house but I live alone so the water usage isn't massive.
