About £37/mth between SE and Southern Water. Two of us in the house during the week but student kids often there at weekends.

Not sure modern showers make much difference - ours pumps water at a furious rate - a decent shower probably uses as much water as a bath. Washing machine and dishwasher used most days and Mrs D likes a long soak in a deep bath a few times a week. Went we became metered bills went down a bit.

£21 a month. We're not on a meter - we entered all our approximate usage into a website and it told us our bills would more than double!. There's only two of us.

We can't have a water meter. Something to do with incompatible pipes.

So instead they've put us on a meter assessed bill.

Nothing about the house has changed, but somehow this has warranted a 25% increase in our water bill.:annoyed::shrug:

£0, we have a private supply from a spring. It's lovely tasting and great pressure. I will obviously be way less smug when there's a leak and there's no-one to call up and sort it....

Out of interest - how do you ensure the water is safe to drink?

It's very unusual to find any kind of spring water that is considered to be potable these days.

I guess you can't be 100% but the water is almost certainly clean when it gets to our house. Then through a physical pre-filter and a UV filter so in fairness, probably £100 a year on consumables the.

That's all fine from a supply perspective but what do you do about waste water ?
