If I lived down there, I'd leave the tap running 24/7 to teach them a lesson.
Yes, it's because it hasn't rained much recently. And because the great British public is somewhat resistant to water meters (all houses should have them).
What'sits being an island to do with it.
See above about water meters.
I thought this was a troll. However I will wade in in any case. As we have loads of wind generators out at sea now, why not just get them working to make drinking water out of seawater rather than have them providing power when nobody needs it and not when they do, at least water can be stored unlike electricity for the grid.

Indeed - the Middle East manage it. The UK is just disorganised.
How much does it cost per litre or per cubic metre? What about the setup costs?
Well what ever it is it wasn't too much for them.
It might be too much for us if it's going to be several times the £1-£5 per cubic metre that we pay now.
In a desert country, especially an oil-rich one, paying more for that for water may be a necessity.
I wonder how much they use? I bet they got fountains. Mind you they co= uld be run on salt water.
Don't let facts get in the way of a nice fantasy.
Why is it fantasy if they can do it?
I take it you also insist on paying a flat rate for food regardless of how much you actually use.
JGH
No, because food is not plentiful, and some people would end up as fat as an American.
I don't have the exact figure but I should guess it's more for a cubic metre than for a litre.

Bang!
Why reintroduce the wanger?
God's Own Water costs =A31.33 per cubic litre, 0.133p per litre according to my current bill.
JGH
Does that include sewerage charges? Also charged per cubic metre. (Total about £2.50/m3 around here.)
And there's a standing charge which usually comprises 50% of my bill with my usual consumption. So effectively about £5/m3 or just over 2p a gallon.
(To illustrate how much that is, if I turn my kitchen tap on full -- 15 litres/min -- that's about £4.50/hour. Equivalent to turning on 15 2kW fan heaters all at once! How did opening a tap get that expensive?!
The figures include the standing charge, so the unit cost goes down the more I use, but not by that much. But it goes up if I use less: if I only use 1 litre in a particular month, that will cost me £12!)
WTF is a cubic litre?
WTF is a "cubic litre"?
