Water meter vanished
I got an estimated bill through for my water, which I thought was strange as my meter is outside under one of two water points (one for my flat, one for the flat above). They say on their website they take actual readings before sending bills. So, I went to check it today. I have check under both as it is not clear which…

New Build House
My wife & I recently moved in to our first property together, it is a new build house and we moved in about 4 days ago. The sales agent read the meter readings with us for gas and electric however was unable to complete the water meter readings as the meter has not been installed yet. My question is how do you get billed…

Water usage double my neighbour!
Morning all :) I'm looking for a bit of guidance on this if possible. Just had my water bill from Anglian water and they have hiked my DD from £51 to £71 a month, a big hike, so have done some digging into the cause. We are based in Lincolnshire. Having compared my water usage to my neighbours, it is nearly 50% more, we…

Southern water- anyone's bills reduced, since having meter fitted?
SW letter received, saying they need to check inside property, with view to fit a meter.. They claim 'only pay for water you use', and that 60% of customers have 'already benefited'.. It doesn't say by how much, if at all - And if any whether any standing charges, installation cost etc..? If not suited for meter, I get…

Toilet leak caused huge bill...
Hi all, Had a slow toilet leak (where there was a slightly dribble from the cistern into the pan), which caused us an extra bill of £500 which the water board are after (estimated ~1,200 over the year). We were switched without choice to a water meter ~ 1 year ago. So after receiving the bill we got a plumber in to fix it,…

Does anyone know how to find out the actual rateable value of a property for the purposes of un-metered water. I understand they were set in 1990, but I can't find any kind of database to actually find out what it is??? All I can find are business ones, but nothing on residential...

Being VERY ripped off by United Utilities
Hey, This has been really aggravating me since my initial contact with United Utilities, for a one-bedroom flat in Manchester they are charging me over £40 a month (I am also a single resident) for water that I hardly ever use - I only stay at my property 2-3 nights a week and the water is hardly ever used. I requested a…

Severn Trent Water "project" - how did they get my name?
Hi, I'm a customer of severn trent water. This weekend I received a letter from them. It had my name on it but was addressed to one of the other flats in the building. The weird thing was, it addressed me as "Dr". This is a title I only ever use for my professional membership subscription. It's not on the electoral…

Is £900 for an unmetered bill right?
Hello, I have recently retired and am trying to reorganise my finances. I looked at my water bill and it is £880 a year-unmetered. I am with United Utilities. I understand that rates vary from company to company but bearing in mind an average bill (according to MSE) from UU is £411 this seems incredibly excessive. Also my…

How is my water heated?
Hi, Not sure if this is the right forum or not but I was wondering how I find out how my water is heated? I know it sounds like a stupid question but I don't actually know, I don't have a airing cupboard in my house, I'm guesing it is a water tank in the loft as we have two lofts, one upstairs and one downstairs. The…
