Does anyone know how much it will cost for water if I change to a meter?
The reason being that I am about to move house and the new one has a water meter fitted. I use approx 300 litres per week. Thanks.
-
My water bill has gone up 10 quid a month in the last years since they fitted a meter.
-
Not sure if I was being told porkies - but 1000 litres is about a £1.00ish for my area. One cubic metre is 1000 litres SO I AM TOLD.
Not on a meter thanks goodness as I have a 7000 gallon fish pond + a TM to fill up each day + a 400 litre jet wash tank hahahaha

I'm not on a water meter either so sorry I can't help
-
300l a week?
Probably a fiver a week. Plus your household use.
-
You can reckon on £2 per 1,000 litres as a rough average. It varies by area but that should give a margin for error. If using an RO, the water used for cleaning should be at least doubled to allow for waste (unless you have a domestic use for it in which case it can reduce the domestic part of your bill).
-
You can have a separate meter fitted and they charge separately for that and obviously you can claim that amount back. A friend of mine paid about £150 for it installing. Water per units about £1.70 for 1000 litres. You won't have to pay drainage either so will cost you very little.
-
You would with an ro unless you can prove the waste doesn't go down the drain.
Easy to fit your own meter from supply to RO to monitor usage.
-
£3.42 for 1000ltrs with drainage down here.
Check with water supplier for correct price per 1000ltrs.
I put a meter on the outside tape so I know exactly how much goes through the system including ro waist.

from latest bill £1.68 for sewerage and £1.06 for water per cubic so £2.74 per 1000 litres Dee Valley Water.
Im on a 4040 so takes prob 3000 litres to fill my IBC £8 to £9 per fill
could prob save a few quid on the sewerage if I told them what I used it ??
don't forget if you fit a separate meter to your system then all of that can go against tax bill so roughly £5 to £6 per fill for me so not complaining.
