Estimate your Essex & Suffolk Water bill
The company average is a benchmark, not a tariff. A one-person metered home that uses water carefully can be well below it. A larger household may be above it. Use the calculator with your household size and a realistic usage level.
Company boundaries do not follow postcode boundaries exactly, and different companies can provide water and wastewater. Your latest bill is the authoritative source.
