I am on a United Utilities water meter, costs £18 per month.

There are standing charges for fresh water at £34 pa, wastewater at £17 pa, and the ubquitous surface water/highway drainage at £71 pa.

The charge for fresh water coming in is £1.537 per cubic metre; the wastewater/sewage is £1.201 per cubic metre.

Therefore more than 50% of the cost is for standing charges alone.

You're right my lovely, I lied - it's actually £48.05! Total for the year is £576.65. I'm going to see about getting a meter as there's only me here and I'm damned sure I don't use that much moneys worth!

If I can't get one fitted, I'll just ask if they want me to bend over or just lie on my back!

I'm pretty sure they have to fit a meter if you ask for one; free too.


Carpe diem.

How is that going to help us? We (the collective "we") have to pay in the end. I can't recall a nationalised industry which wasn't subsidised by the Government.


You obviously have no understanding then how the privatised public transport network is funded.

Not much. British Aerospace [BAe] is next up to be taken over by foreign companies. Marks & Spencer and Sainsbury's are also rumored to be possible targets. Boots is probably going to be taken over by an American company soon.
