I have been paying £35 per month for my house water usage for the last 15 months. When I lived in Scotland we didn’t pay for water as it was included in our council tax, and even then the council tax was much cheaper.

Free water every year, big profits for share holders £2.17 a cubic metre for water in Wessex, if in the Southern Water Area only £1.16 cubic meter?
No competition?

From the previous posts, I can tell that several people think Wessex Water is far higher than their previous provider. Has anyone come up with hard data as to why that is? Higher water rates? Higher sewage rates?

The thought of filling up a bath to relieve my aching Arthritic knees and joints, makes me anxious. Money money. Can i actually afford to have a medicinal soak? NO.

I have moved in to a 3 bedroom property owned by a Housing Association which is fitted with a Water Metre. Before I moved here, | was with a council in a nice semi detatched 3 bedroom house, paying a weekly water and sewage rates of 6.75 quid a wk. GREAT!!! Now? I have been charged 70 quid by wessex water for 3 wks worth of water. What is going on??? I know I had to clean the house Big Time but I am currently on benefits down here since moving 140 miles away from my family up in the south east. My parents live under Anglian water which is really expensive, so they decided to install a water metre 18 months ago, which has paid off. But. There are only two of them in there 3 bed house with an upstairs and downstairs WC’s. Something is very wrong with mine I think. So we are buying paper plates and eating more Sandwiches than ever before! I don’t see me having a choice to feed my 2.5 kids dried food on paper plates really. Unless Wessex Water want to find me a Job??? lol.

Wessex have responded in the past very well to any problem including the burst pipe that took our wall away although I did not claim for the rebuild trust they will be fair with us later on!
I do see the increase in there yearly charges trust the need their money for investment and not to give more to the fat cats.
Never go for a Meter if more than 2 in family they like that.

I’m concerned about a practice my neighbour has been repeating time after time, he’s been stretching his garden hose across the road to water his mate’s garden! because his mate is on a water meter! Who can I report it to?

Why is there only one water /sewage supplier? Why do they behave like they know it? (Wessex water)
