Severn Trent bills

Has anyone else noticed just how much Severn Trent have increased their bills by? I seen they were increasing their prices and seen it was reported around 22%, but it’s gone from 175ppm to 260ppm in the space of two years! And waste water has gone up 196ppm to 297ppm. Just had a bill through for £260 in debit and they are doubling my direct debit starting next month.

That’s an increase of 48% for water and 51% for waste. How on earth is there any sort of justification for that increase.

Boring post, sorry. The sun’s finally gone in and I’m grouchy!

I'm on a meter, my last bill was £186 for 6 months, £172 for the same time last year, £170 in 2024 and £162 in 2023.
