surface water drainage
check if your paying your water company for surface water drainage it seems they all charge unless you query. we have soakaways and should receive £12.50 off our rates you have to request a form to claim it. How many £12.50 are not claimed? They dont let you claim for previous years though ;)

TW want money for enire year, we want to pay only until our tenancy runs out...
Hi all, A question about Thames water but may apply to other companies too. They always want the whole amount (whether as 1 lump sum, 2 lumps sums, or 8x monthly sums). We've only paid up to the end of our tenancy (end of June), but now they've written back saying they'll bill us for the whole period unless we pay the…

Water bill paid for free
Hi all, I came across this site today. It claims they will pay your water bill absolutely free, if you're selected in some kind of contest. The site itself looks pretty cool, it has a few tips for saving money on gas and heating stuff. No forums, tho. :confused: I signed up for the free newsletter, maybe it'll save me a…

Can't get a water meter - what are my options?
I live in a flat in London, and applied for a water meter as soon as I moved here, knowing that because there's only me living in my flat, and I work full time, a meter would definitely save me money - 40% according to the Thames Water website. But I can't get one because the block of flats I live in has a common water…

Changing the rateable values of Water bill
Hello all! In November I moved into a single floor flat that had been created out of part of a two floor maisonette. The landlord isn't the most organised person, with the result that we had to get the Council Tax rebanded - another story altogether! However, I am now wondering whether we are overpaying our water. I…

Check your insurance - foul flooding
Just a word of caution. Imagine there is a storm which causes the sewers to flood and damages your property. You may think that you can claim from your local water board. Well if you do, you may be in for a shock. They may be liable if for example they have not maintained the network, but if they have done, it probably…

Insurance for External Water Leaks
There was an item on You and Yours today commenting on the letters which appear to come from your Water board offering for around £15 insurance against the cost of repairing the pipe between your home and the meter.

water meter
I will be having a water meter fitted in the next 3 months. Do i continue as i am with the usage,or even use more,so that when i get my first bill,i can see if it is going to save money? Or,do i start trying to cut down asap,but does this give a false idea of how much i can save?

switching to water meter
At the moment, there are two of us in four-bed house and buy.co.uk tells me we could save £90 a year by switching to a water meter. I read in Martin's book you could switch back within a year so can you not switch back after a year ever? Once we have a couple of kids, it might be cheaper not to have a meter but that won't…

Water Meter - What if there is a leak?
I am thinking of changing to a water meter and worked out that I will save about £50 per year if not more. My concern though is if there is a leak between the service outside my garden and inside (ie I do not know about it). Is there insurance to cover the involuntary 'usage'?

Paying for repairs to water pipes
My first post! I hope it is in the right forum. I received a letter today from Thames Water asking me to pay £16 a year to cover myself against the cost of repairs to the part of the water pipe that I am responsible for. (Apparently "from the boundary of the public highway to where it goes under my outside wall"). Their…
