Single Occupier
I know you get a 25% for single occupier on council tax, but I wondered if you did on water rates too. I've noticed something on the Brighton & Hove website that indicates this, but I'm in a different area of the country.

Yorkshire Water inflation query
I've just received a letter from Yorkshire Water saying "the average bill will rise by 2.06%... [which] is below the rate of inflation at 2.19%" I can't reconcile this claimed inflation figure with official ONS figures that put the current CPI at 1.8% and the RPI at 2.6%. Can anyone shed any light on this?

Neighbour shares water supply - all water through my meter
We recently contacted our local water board as our water usage was very high. They came out & said it must be a leak, didn't turn off stopcock etc. We had a plumber investigate further & it seems that our neighbour's supply runs off ours & has a shared stopcock (in my bedroom!). We also have an outside stopcock. There is…

My water meter reading seems very high...what to do?
I moved into a new property 3 months ago - a Victorian terrace. I had a water meter installed on 7 November. Although I own the house I am rarely there and spend 2/3 nights a week there, and I work during the day. The water company estimated my bills to be around £15 p/m. I'd say I take around 2 showers a week there, 2…

No water bill for a number of years....
Hi All, A number of years ago (nearly 12), I moved into a new build flat. Since moving in, I haven't had a water bill! Thought it was about time to get it sorted....

Water meters?

Understanding i could be saving a good chunk of money. I just dont like the idea of being charged based on usage for water. A few…

You might not like this....
This is for men only! A question for you. What is the essential difference between peeing into a urinal and peeing into a hand-wash basin? Essentially none. You can flush the basin afterwards (which you can't do with a urinal) and it might even be better.because you can choose exactly how much to flush. And if it seems a…

We live in a semi detached. We have a two-storey extension in comparison to other houses on our road - bathroom and kitchen. However…
