Water and sewerage, a month, every council ranked

A year's average household water and sewerage bill from the water company here, divided by twelve. Each company publishes one average for its whole area, so it compares places and does not predict a home's bill. Northern Ireland has no household water bill. Figures for 2026-27, published for 359 councils in the UK. Lowest first: the order says where a council sits, not whether that is good.

Joint lowest: 11 councils, £0 a month. The council in the middle: Wakefield, £53 a month. Joint highest: 13 councils, £63 a month.
