Energy costs make you look at things

It's only about 180L to fill a bath!
With the recent rises i've been feeling a bit smug about our borehole and cesspit, the only ongoing bills are water filters and a bit of leccy to power the pump.
Sorry

2 x baths a day and washing mc is on 3 times a day plus toddler flushing toilet about 20tines a day.. probably about right joys of kids and wife at home all the time!

We are classed as a farm and have to pay one of there other companies. Only good news is we are VAT exempt. Helps towards the Inheritance Tax Bill

Yeh, when you look at the bills you pay a decent amount to get rid of the water. Surface and sewage. Think if you are on a soakaway you can get some kind of discount on surface water.
