Because water bills are the last frontier of household nonsense. Everyone argues about energy prices, but nobody knows how much they actually pay for water. It’s a secret society of pipes and payments.
You can now be the hero at your next dinner party. Casually drop: “Did you know the average UK water bill includes tax on rainwater?” Watch jaws drop. Feel smug.
And here’s the ultimate mind-bender: your water bill is actually cheaper than your Netflix subscription. Think about that. You pay less for life-giving hydration than you do for Emily in Paris.
So next time you open that envelope, don’t groan. See it as a tiny, weird adventure. A journey through flushings, rainfall, and microscopic waste-eaters. And remember: you are rich in hydration. Even if your wallet is a little wet.
