Stopped getting water bills???
I have not received a water bill for over 9 months, I used to get them every six months for 2 years without fail and a reminder if I did not pay. I pay money into a separate account to cover my utility bills which I pay quarterly so I have the money. Just wondering if this has happened to anyone else, I do not see the…

No Water Bill, Unknown Supplier
Hi We moved into a property that was being dealt with on probate. We had very little information from the seller on the property info form (we had a full building survey, septic tank survey etc), but utilities wise we really struggled to get info and it was only luck we found out our electric supplier through a smart meter…

Water bill - unmetered...
Hi all Not long received my water bill for 2018/2019. It's in United Utilities area and it's for £301.25 for the year, which is £25.10 per month. It's unmetered, for a two bedroom house based on the rateable value of £84, but I reckon my usage as a single person would be lower with a meter - however I asked the landlord…

Hi all, first time post. We bought a house at the start of November and the first monthly direct debit went out in December. Nothing has come out since. Should I raise this with them? Thanks!

Water bill questions
Hi guys. My water bill is due - £533 for the year. I normally put aside money each month to then pay the bill in full when it's due because I get a 1.5% discount. I'm not sure whether to pay by Direct Debit instead which is about £53 a month for 10 months or pay it off in full and then carry on putting money aside each…

Thames water bill dispute
Hi I am shocked to receive Thames bill which said there is an arrears of 450 pounds which is in 2016. the amount is more than my one year usage. Back in 2016 i already disputed that and it was never resolved ( not sure if they added interest) So i cancelled my direct debit just now and told them that i am not going to pay…

Sudden Jump in water bill
Hi there folks, I live in a 2 bed flat, which due to some odd water pipework, means that there are no water meters in the block (apparently it was cross billing flats). I'm on a 2 bed assessed tariff, which has suddenly shot up from £384.64/year to £499.24. (Water in £198.30 to £208.20, Water out £186.34 to £291.04) Rang…

Thames Water/Greenredeem Rewards
I don't know if this is the right place, but I couldn't find anything else on the forum about this (admittedly I've been a lurker for a long time but haven't posted before so will probably get this wrong!). Thames Water sent me a flyer through the post advertising that because I'm on a smart water meter I can sign up to…

Water Meter
Apologies if this sounds totally naïve but we've only been in our first home since October 2017, before that we were living with parents. So when we moved in we set up an account with Essex & Suffolk Water and have recently received our first bill. I didn't even realise we had a water meter! I've just been on the question…

Over charged water bill
I live in a non-metered house (cannot have one fitted) and have just received my annual bill. It’s a 2 bed but noticed they (Southern Water) have been calculating it for a 4 bed house! We have lived here 3 years, and checking back, have always paid for a 4 bed! Simply; am I entitled to a refund for the last 3 years?

Leakage Test.
My latest water bill is a lot more expensive than previous bills so my water company has asked me to do a leakage test. My question is .... does the small cog in the middle of the meter still slightly spin ie. tick over even if you haven't used any water. My readings are (omitting the 0s) 5722 (red numbers between 3) taken…

Yorkshire Water
Just moved into my first home LS11 area of Leeds and received a bill for the year of £612.42 for a 3 bed Semi. 2 adults and 2 young kids. The bill just seems too high because at my parents it was just over £300 for 6 of us. Their house is 4 bed Mid terrace and around 5ish minutes from my house. Just wondering if this is…
