They all charge differently down here KJ. They have to petition the Govt to increase prices. There is no competition unlike B/band & Energy. I send them my readings via Email. I can request a visit for a reading if required or they can request entry to my home to check things. It works well

Sorry, the tables of the actual charges did not come with the text above!

I listed the ones that would apply to us earlier on.  The fact that the fixed charges are very high and related to your CT band means that 2 people in a larger house would most likely be no better off on a meter it seems.

I don't see how they can claim that their charges are related to the actual costs when they base a huge chunk of them on the CT band.

Simular to my Wife and I Sir, we average 73 cubic metres per year i.e. 100L (22 gal) per person per day.

i did say id get round to posting our figure for comparison...

2010 March 54 cu ft, Sept 28, total 82

2011.............36...................28.........65

2012.............44...................69.........113

2013..............42...................21..........63

2014..............38...................28...........66

2015..............17....................18..........35

2016..............33...

so, 65 looks to be a reasonable average figure..

the sept 2012 figure was up as son decided to be 'between properties' and used our water....

2015 low due to more time away in the van...

Many thanks to those posters who gave details of water used in cubic meters.  It does seem that we are using more water than other 2 person households, not that I feel we are wasteful  in any way.

We are going to do an exact check on the water used over the next month and take it from there.  Perhaps we will consider having the meter checked at some point. 

Thanks again folks. 

Natasha, we dont 'bathe' these days, use our walk in shower instead and prefer that....so a real saving there.

OTOH, one of the biggest users of water, for those that are (say) retired and spending time at home, is repeated toilet flushing.

we are both retired but (generally) don't spend too much time at home and when we are away more it is definitely reflected in the water usage pattern...
