Water Rate's Have you had Yours

[gilwrig]

Mine used to be £350.00 and I live in a ground floor 2 bed flat - just me and hubby. Shocking I think seeing as I used to pay the same as the woman upstairs who had three kids ( no idea where she used to put them all!!) and used to wash her car every five minutes.

I got a meter put in and now it is less than a tenner a month... happy now.

We are on a meter and pay about 650 a year. But then with 2 children and 2 adults all having baths everyday and using the washing machine at least once a day and the dishwasher... we do use a lot of water.
We are band e, but hopefully the neighbours won't dob us in and get it put up now we've extended!

Yup, definitely one of the down sides of living in the South West! Band C, 3 bed semi and £948 for this coming year

We are in band C for council tax so not a mansion after all. Waiting to see what the council tax will be this year.

Like Jackie, We're in Devon with South West Water and our new annual charge is £948!!!! Our rateable value is £190 and we're in council tax band C (so not a mansion)

Have just looked into getting a water meter fitted as it's gone up over £10 a month this year and when we lived in a similar house in Bracknell it was only £400 a year with southern water.

Shame we can't shop around as we can for other utilities

mines £625.00 for the year
