I take it that was you first bill after 2 months. Water bills are normally every 3 months. There will probably be some additions for supply at the outset as well.
They are also reclaiming waste water charges which they put into abeyance for some time due to the financial crisis so you will find you will be charged double for that service over the next 14 months or so.
Before they put the waste water charges into abeyance, our average quarterly bills was around 50 euro. Then it went right down to 35 euro but has now gone up over the 50 euro mark again to 52 euro.
We also used to pay the charge for rubbish collection on our water bill but that's now taken as a separate tax.
I think your next quarterly bill be less than the one you've just paid.
