How much does everyone pay for their water and sewage bill each month?

I got mine yesterday and it was 71,000 won for 4 months. The last 2 months alone cost me 41,000 won. Somehow I'm using twice as much water as everyone else in the villa.

It seems a little steep.

Thoughts?

Mine's fixed at 40,000 a month, but my villa includes the hot water in that price.

Have you been washing clothes more? Taking longer showers due to the cold weather?

My water bills are pretty low, and completely overshadowed by the building management fees. Evil or Very Mad

If you want to reduce your water use, putting a 2 l bottle of water in the toilet cistern is a good place to start.

Hmm... I think in summer I took a lot more showers...

I was told that it may be the yearly sewage rate included in my last 2 months...

Who knows?

The 2L in the toilet isn't a bad idea seeing as you don't see too many dual flush toilets in Korea.

Mine is included in rent, I have to admit I feel guilty at times when I'm using tons of water in the morning. Embarassed
