Should I switch to a water meter?
I live in a rented flat. The water rate I pay is based on the banding of the property. I live in London. This means that I am in the Thames Water catchment area. I’m considering switching to using a water meter. The belief is that this will reduce the amount I pay for water. Would using a meter reduce that amount of money…

Severn Trent water will
My latest bill to start in April 23 is going to be over £510 a year. Is this normal. I'm not on a metre and live in a 2 bed flat in Birmingham. Severn Trent say the bill is set on the rateable value of my property which is nothing more than 75k. I'd hate to think how much someone is paying on a much better home. Any tips…

£1000 + water bill
Hi, I moved to a new build property a few years ago. As usual, I took on electricity, gas, broadband and paid them as normal - either the vendor contacted me OR the builder provided my details to these utility companies. Since I moved in, I never had any water bill and no water utility company contacted me. I did not…

Severn Trent Smart Meter: not so smart
I was told by Severn Trent that my smart meter would measure my water 24/7, and soon I would be able to view statistics online. Today, I was told quite abruptly by Severn Trent that an "engineer" must come close to the property to take readings and that I cannot have a bill until that is done. The smart meter could have…

It turns out that when they tried to read the meter this year they found it was dead and arranged a replacement. We then received an estimated bill for the last 12 months. This…

water meter reading
My meter was successfully read a couple of weeks ago and a bill duly generated. It was read along with the others in the road by a water company van that simply passed by, and it wasn't going particularly slowly either. It occurred to me to wonder if the meter has some power source such as a battery to enable it to respond…

Hampshire Southern Water proposed water recycling
I know this site is about saving money but these proposals mean more expensive water, and it's your own and many other people's sewage sold back to them as drinking water. If this goes ahead in Hampshire, it will be on your doorstep soon enough. You only have until the 20th of this month to have your say. Copied from the…

MSE recommends water meters
Bit of a waste of time recommending meters in our Thames Water area, I have received estimated bills since before the pandemic, so I have, for example, no idea whether my efforts during the hosepipe ban made any difference or not. Although in theory it should all be evened up when they eventually get round to reading the…
