    Last quarter I paid Southern £97 for 44m³ of water and Thames £92 to remove 44m³ of waste.

    This is a house of 4, 2 adults and two teens.

      According to Untied Utilities, the average 4 person household uses 450L a day!

      As you can see, we had a sudden jump in 2024…

    We’ve just had an updated water bill, where we’re going to be paying £123/month. It wasn’t that long ago where we we paying £60/month and I thought that was a lot!

    We’re a family of four, apparently using 667 litres per day - however I think this was down to a leaky toilet which we’ve only just had fixed, as at the first half of 2024 we were using under 500 litres per day. Just curious what others are paying?

        For us, we’re, on average, per day:

        2x showers in the morning 1.5x washing machine loads 1x dishwasher 2x baths in the evening (my wife will have one and then usually the kids will have a separate one together)

        Then there’s obviously the toilet flushes, sinks to wash our hands, some small bits of washing up.

      You pay monthly? I seem to only be able to pay quarterly, with a 1 week turn around required after they issue the bill.
