We switched to a meter 2 months ago. Got an immediate £70 refund so I'm curious to see if our bill drops when they assess our useage as we are quite good with it.
2 people and a baby (she has mini baths). £60 per month since they combined the two southern/south east water bills.

Sounds about right. 2 of us here no baths just showers. Dishwasher on once every 2 days and the usual washing machine. We pay £35 per month

Think you’re being stung here...
I’m not in Southern Water area but currently paying £18 a month for same scenario and typically end year £10 CR/DR so negligible

About 300 a year.
I think after Brexit it will be about 2000 a week and we’ll be queuing at stand pipes.

For a 1 bed hovel, £20 p/m, for 2 people on a water meter!
£28 p/m
About £310 for the winter 6 months, £360 for the summer 6 months due to some plant watering. 3 of us prefer baths over showers.
= £56 a month.
Over the last 20 years unit costs rise exponentially, way above general inflation, because Southern Water are solving leaks

I would say we run the dishwasher and washing machine once a day and my wife may have 1 or 2 baths a week.
Not sure we should still be hit for £55 though...
Again, I'll see how it settles down now we are on a meter. It was installed very recently so maybe it hasn't quite sorted itself out or we will get a nice big refund if we are overspending.
Before they merged I think they were 32 and 26 for south east and Southern respectively.

The main part of your water bill is the wastewater part which most people forget about. I went on a tour recently of wastewater plant and was amazed at what people flush down toilet!

People ask why I live in Turkey, £20 a year water, £28 a year council tax two good reasons!

£33 for two adults and two older teenagers. But I am certain we will be stung considering the amount of watering in the garden I've been doing!
Can you safely drink the water from taps in Turkey?

£50 per month for 2 of us. Thread indicates this may be too much.
