I can honestly say that since I've had a meter, my water bill is the only one that makes me a tiny bit happy.
I wish I had done it years ago!

My water went down from £31 to £18 and a refund to my bank of £60. It was obvious I was paying too much (live alone, metered) but I let it run for 6 months and knew it would sort itself out. Still £13 a month in my pocket and a splash of diesel with the refund!

Yes I am on a meter and it has saved me a lot of money over the years.
Two of us with occasionally three.
My GD showers by the minute but I am in and out in minutes and now I am very old, not every day.
For comparison purposes it has gone down from £31 to £26 a month.

Are you on a metered supply? Maybe you’re seeing the benefits of being careful with water. We were amazed to be told by our water authority that our consumption in a two person household is less than that of the average single person household. Yes, we do have showers, wash our clothes and drink water!

Nice surprise. I think I will be getting the other kind before long

In the post this morning a yearly statement from United Utilities, my water supplier..
My payments have gone down by £5 a month , an absolute shock in the face of everything else going up.
