Seems reasonable to me too. I’ve a water meter - paying Northumbrian Water £31 a month, so that’s £186 for 6 months. I’m on my own, don’t wash the car and have just used/emptied the water butt over the Summer. I do DD2’s laundry, but it just goes in with mine.

Have you checked for any leaks?

I am with Anglian Water. I live on my own and my bill for the last 6 months was £165. I am on a meter.

Seems reasonable. It’s about what we pay, though when I just looked, because of your query, we are nearly £150 in credit at the moment so I’m going to ask if I can reduce payments or have a refund.

Have you queried it?

Mine has gone up twice in a year after meter readings.
It went up in the spring from £38 per month to £61 and now to £80.
We have had GC staying for several weeks and watering the garden of course but it seems a very steep rise to me.

Seems reasonable, compared to what we pay. Are you on a water meter?

I have just received an outrageous bill for £204 from Anglian Water for six months. Is this normal? We never had anything as high as this when living in Sussex.

There are only two of us. Noone takes a bath (showers only); for medical reasons I have to strip wash; washing machine on once a week; dishwasher every other day.

Now, there was a letter in the newspaper several weeks ago, where a householder discovered that if you have a smart water meter but poor mobile reception, inaccurate readings can be sent to the water company. Scary.

Could this also be applicable to other utilities, I wonder?

Has anyone else come across this? Thoughts would be useful.
