I haven't read this thread, so apologies if this post is off topic, but I came across it when I did a search for "water meter", as there was a thread last year around the time I changed to a meter, and I wanted to post on it but found this one.


I have just received my bill.


Last year it was ?399.34.


This year it is ?192 but my account is actually ?32 in credit as I pay by direct debit.


I have saved over ?200.


ETA: Oh, and it was free to fit and absolutely no hassle at all, and Thames Water were very helpful (and put no pressure on me at all to change).


I won't be going back to the old system, obv :)


ETA: Maybe this is the thread I was thinking of .....

Hi Sue, that's a really useful response. Can I ask what the size / room numbers of your property is?

If you're looking for comparisons, my bill has been around ?250 per annum for the last three years - we have a water meter and are two people in a semi detached modern house. The Thames Water site has us as "low" users of water compared to other similar houses in the area.

Three bed terrace (one bedroom very small), through living room, through kitchen/diner.


But I presently mostly live by myself, and since I got the meter I have been very careful about water use!

  • 4 weeks later...

An update after we had a meter installed just over a year ago.


Originally our bills were ?600 (ish, can't find the old non-metered one, but the 1st metered ones carried about that over as the estimate)..


1st year over and we are now running at ?460... And that's with a fair bit of washing (2 small kids) and them having a bath most nights etc..

    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why?
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.
