Hi, are water bills expensive in Los Narejos. I understand electricity bills are more expensive than UK and have a daily standing charge, is there a similar daily charge for water as well as usage. I won't be there until June approx, just trying to get rough estimate for utilities plus broadband.

Our bills dated 10th March for 3 months is €56. That is on a 2-bed house occupied continually by 2 people.
Hope that helps.

That's reasonable. Are the meters read regularly or often estimated.
I try translating the online bill from Spanish to English but not always easy. I bought a property at end of Feb, haven't moved from UK because of the restrictions but had an online bill a few days ago for 42 euros. Don't understand how as I haven't been there.

That's reasonable as well. Forgot to ask, do most people drink bottles water only or is tap water fine.

We installed a reverse osmosis system under the kitchen sink, which cost about 150€ from Leroy Merlin. So we drink the tap water and also make our own sparkling water with our Sodastream. Saves a fortune on bottled water and no toxic plastic containers to carry about or have to take to the bins!

Just wondered what the tap water is like, I don't tend to drink much water,I'm guessing the bottled water isn't too expensive. There's a few things I will need to look at when I eventually get to Los Narejos, probably a bigger water heater will be needed, seems many of the older properties have small boilers.
Mains water is safe to drink but is usually tastes horrible.
