Thames water:-

"For household customers, the fixed charge is £20.57 for water services
and £70.07 for wastewater services. If your home isnâ t connected to
our sewer for the purpose of taking away surface water, you can claim a
reduction of £25.15 on the wastewater fixed charge, bringing it to
£44.92."


Presumably those are standing charges per annum for a metered supply
and there are volume charges in addition?


Yes, this is for a metered supply and there are additional volume
charges. Wastewater = 82.6p per cubic meter (based on incoming water
consumption). My household consumption is around 60 cubic meters per year.

water supply = approx £100 (supply is £1.30 per cubic meter)
waste water = approx £120

Where there is no meter the wastewater charge is based on the property
rateable value but again with only a £25 reduction is you don't
discharge rainwater into their sewer. As before, the wastewater charge
includes an element based on highway drainage.


Says him with a £360/annum, un metered, supply only, water bill.
