Is this bill too cheap??
Hi all, just had a bill from our landlords for the water, which I'm assuming covers the 3 months since we moved in. However it only comes to £34..... is this too little?? This includes both water and sewage charges. I know we are very frugal with water, but I had budgeted £30 a month!! Does this seem odd to people, or am I…

Rateable Values.
I don't know if this is answered elsewhere but I have googled this high and low and am getting frustrated! I want to check that my water authority is not ripping me off by checking if they have the right rateable value for my property. It's a band A yet I am paying the higher rate for water. I know that the council tax…

Plumbing work does it need to be certified ?
Hello, the builders are due to start work in 2 weeks for a large extension to the house.

Although now the work has been done and water supply turned back on the house is still unoccupied. I have informed the water company of…

Where did this come from!?
Had a letter from my water company this morning quoting a statement from the CEO of Severn Trent Water who supply our water stating that customers had been overpaid, something about sewage charges and that our water bill will be going down by £2 a month from jan 07 for the forseeable future to cover our refund? Not that…

Why is our water industry set up as it is?
I’d like to ask if anyone's aware of plans to properly privatise the water supply and remove the existing regional monopolies. The purpose would be, IMO, to provide open, fair competition and pricing across the industry. I am NOT a “customer” of these companies – as a customer I can choose what to buy and from where to buy…

So how does water supply work then?
Am with Severn Trent and after reading the thread about claiming a rebate back from your water company if surface water doesn't go back into the main sewer system am pretty convinced I should be able to get a rebate Anyhow this has got me thinking and after 5 years in my house I realised I know nothing of how the water…

At the moment my gas heated water is only on for a couple of hours a day which seems to be adequate. say that the timer switch heats the water until 8pm. At this…

Water Meters, Hillingdon? Any way around it??
Hi, I have just bought a property in Hillingdon and like others on this site I have also the unfortune of being informed a water meter will be fitted to the property due to changes in ownership. As there are 5 people in the household, this will probably be more expensive and I would be alot happier with a annual bill. I…
