Water meter (boundary box) covers
Many meters are being installed by Severn Trent in our area and they now use a type of cover I've not seen before.

We have ended up in £400+ debt to Southern water and this is why.. In August 2019 THEY reduced our water bill from £36.80 to £12.70. (They have admitted now…
Thames Water bills - or lack of
I moved into a new build in 2014, contacted Thames Water to let them know and then - nothing. I assumed my partner was sorting out the water bills (we share responsibility for them), she thought I was and basically for almost eight years we've had no water bill sent through.

We are currently on a shared water main with 3 other houses (2 lots of semi detached). 1930’s build, old lead pipes. One neighbour on the shared supply has had a couple of leaks in the last 3 or 4 years, in their overgrown garden and it’s taken over a week to locate their leak and get it fixed. In the meantime, we all…
