View submission: Is my water bill too high?

We’ve just moved house and are now paying £77 a month for 3 people in a 3 bed semi and on a meter - 1 adult, a teen and a child. We share bath water but use the dishwasher daily and washing machine 3-4 x per week. In my previous property we were paying £45 a month including an extra person as my oldest has just gone to uni. I can’t work out why the jump is so insane. There’s no obvious leaks or anything like that.

One thing to consider:

In order to obfuscate, the fuckers often set DD to limited months

So yours might only be for 8 months + 4 months of silence

Still seems high tho...

And. You dont need "obvious" leaks; you just need leaks from their pipes onto your property. No idea how to check for that

For "obvious" leaks - prime suspect is toilet overflow

Also, maybe youve moved from a cheap water company to a non cheap one
