The annual cost of running hot baths is predicted to rise by nearly 90% to £1,023 in 2023
One water company has predicted the annual cost of running them to rise by almost 90% to £1,023 this year, as the cost of living crisis continues to hit families hard.
Although water rates have stayed the same over the last year, the cost of using it in the home has gone up due to gas and electricity prices rocketing, the company said. Following closely behind is using a dishwasher, costing £236.60 in 2022, up from £132.68 the year before. Using a washing machine cost £222.77 in 2022 – an annual increase of 95%.
Yorkshire Water’s “Teapot Index” says these costs are predicted to increase by an average of 18% in 2023 while the cost of running a bath is predicted to almost double to £1,023.Their research said the average household could save £700 a year with steps including halving shower times to four minutes and switching from three baths to five showers a week.
