How much is your monthly waterbill?

Whats your monthly waterbill?

My last one: $138.36 with watercare for central auckland (ponsonby) for 6 people in a house.

we dont pay for water separately here yet but looking at my rates bill the water charge is $368 and drainage is $437 which works at at $67 per month

[muppet]

No charge for water in my town.

I'm in Wellington and have a voluntary water meter. Cost for 3 people around $32 a month.

If no water meter is installed, the cost would be quite a bit higher as it is based on rating valuation. So whether it is worthwhile or not depends on RV and number of people using water. The Council has a calculation to determine if it is worth it or not, and can switch back at any time.

About $60 per month in West Akl with 2 adults, 2 young kids.

[harmonist]

Mine was $122, Greenlane, that covers 5 adults and 2 children, think it was around $140 the month before

[Maccachic]

$144 (3 mths) in Tauranga 2 people includes: irrigation, inflatable pool and spa fill up.

Has it gone up in Auckland? We were about $80-90 pcm around 4-6 months ago and earlier, but since it's shot up to $120-140.

[On 9 9]

Last month's bill for 2 people and a dog. $190
should I be worried?

[Orkibi]

just got one for west AKL total $91 and its 3 bedroom house and 1bed unit.
if your one is strangely too high it maybe worth checking out that there is no leak anywhere...

[donthatetheplayer]

We use about 800L per day, so about $90 per month in Auckland. It was nearly double until we stopped using mains water on the garden!

[Leftette]

That might explain mine. We started to use it on the garden in this dry spell we're having. Despite cooling off a bit now, there's still not a lot of rain.

[donthatetheplayer]

Yep, ours was up to $200 one month.. A rainwater tank saves a lot of money if you are a keen gardener. I'd like to use the rainwater for inside as well (toilet perhaps?) and setup a grey water system eventually. It's got to be the way forward.

Umm our metering starts in a couple of months yaaooh I'm dreading it - the tenants will be dreading it more though I'd say.

cheers,
