Single OAP would like to reduce water bill meter not an option
My father in law, in his 80's, lives alone and would like to reduce his water bills if possible. He can't have a meter apparently as he lives in an old flat. I'm sure his usage is very low, unable to bath and little cooking, no dishwasher or washing machine. My husband has spoken to the water company but not getting very…

Complaint compensation added to water account
I have been given £80 as part of an ongoing complaint (Thames water did not respond to my email queries for over a year). I pay for my water by Direct Debit and they have added this refund to my account rather than issuing a cheque. I have asked multiple times for a cheque to be sent as I have a new co-tenant (who has sent…

South West Water Rip-off
We're moving into a new home next week. The house was deemed un-meterable and the current owners are therefore on a 2 person assessed tarrif. When I signed up to transfer our account to the new house we were told that it would have to be surveyed again to see if a meter could be installed (no problem with that) and that it…

Company use estimation to charge you. Is your water bill fair?
My water supplier is Northumbria water. Due to frequent travel, I am hardly home (maybe two days a week in average); whenever I am home I would go to gym and shower there ( I don't feel like walking on the street all sweaty). Therefore it can be said that most of my water is used on drinking, light washing ( I don't…

Ratio of water supply to waste water bill?
Hi everyone A bit new to this, but hope someone can help. Any idea what the usual 'ratio' of a water supply charge to the sewerage charge is? We have different suppliers for each, and seem to be getting charged twice as much for waste water as for the supply of fresh water? Just trying to work out if this is normal! Any…

Water rates of £320 a year, or meter?
2 of us live in our house, in Essex and have been offered a water meter. We never wash the cars or water the grass, and only have showers every day, we pay £320 a year rates, would it be cheaper to switch to a meter, as they want to fit one to our property? Thanks in advance

Water meter or not ?
I'm wondering if we should apply to change to a water meter. Currently paying water rates to Severn Trent £506 a year. This is paid over 8 months so £60 per month x8. Household is 2 adults, 2 teenagers. Use washing machine daily, showers every day pretty much x4. We never hose the garden. I think £500 a year is a lot but…

Can Southern Water Refuse to Remove my Email & Phone number

Water meter switching problems
i asked Thames Water to go on a water meter as I live in a 2/3 bedroom flat with garden but live alone. They came to assess & advised me that the water pipe is too close to the wall & I would have to pay to have the pipe moved before they would give me a meter. Should I ask for an assessment or will they just say No? Any…

Rateable value & Council Tax bands
About 8 years ago we had our Victorian house in North London converted into 2 separate flats. Originally the whole house was in Council Tax band G but upon re-evaluation our flat dropped 2 bands down to E. Should our water rates now be lower as well? When I enquired at Thames Water, I was told that the rates are the…

Has anyone successfully haggled their Water Bill? (non Meter)
Has anyone tried to get it down. We are with Essex and Suffolk water for water and waste we are 95% sure that going to a meter won't be a good idea. We tried paying in full £520 for the year but even then they are still not interested in a discount.
