Apparently I use 412 litres a day?
I've just got a water bill and noticed my household apparently uses 412 litres a day... This seemed like an awful lot to me so I went online and found a calculator that worked it out based on bath, washing machine, people, etc, etc and even stretching the truth and saying that we have 1 more person and more showers etc,…

Outside water pipe cover
I have been reading on here about water pipe insurance and was wondering if I needed to get cover. The water meter for my supply is in my kitchen so I thought I only had to pay for anything from my side of the meter but I'm not sure that is the case. I have check on my buildings insurance paperwork which says I'm covered…

Smartsource Water
This company claims to save money on your water bill but how can they save if I'm on a rateable value charge? I've heard some strange stories about them like not returning phone calls. Has anyone had experience of this company and can they really save me money? Seems too good to be true! They may be ex-employees of the…

Yorkshire Water...... AAARRRGGGHHH!
We have just received a letter from YW to say that our monthly METERED payments are increasing from £28.00 pm to £80.00! When I queried this, I was told that we are high users, using approx. 500 Ltrs per day. How can this be possible, when there are only 2 of us in the Household and both work fulltime? I suggested that…

Why is my water bill so much (NON METERED)
Me and GF live in 2 bedroom flat, all pretty standard. We had high water bills initially, so got a meter. After receiving a REALLY BIG bill, and having an 8 week dispute, it turned out the meter was on a SHARED pipe! So, now the water company have removed it, checked the property and say unfortunately, we CAN NOT have a…

WARNING...Anglian Water Insurance.
The water supply pipe insurance info that I in the mail this morning shows an offer of first year at £12 and no mention of resulting years costs. This I believe to be £60 p.a. Yet anyone signing the direct debit form without checking is in for shock later on. Anglian Water would do well to ditch HOMESERVE.

Double the annual consumption?
We moved into a small rented 2 bed flat in January which has a water meter. Previously we were living in a two bed house where we paid a monthly charge of about £18 for water. It's just me and the OH in the flat. We each shower once daily (probably for about 15 minutes each), wash up twice a day, run the washing machine…

When we rang out they ask to confirm the name on the account, but after I gave my name they advised that it wasnt the name on the account. So i told him my address and he advised still that it wasnt the name…

Southern water wrongly charging for surface water drainage
I have just received a rebate from Southern Water, who have incorrectly charged me for surface water drainage for at least the past eight years and possibly longer. Consumers are only supposed to be charged for surface water drainage if rainwater from the property drains directly into the public sewer. In most houses where…

In credit with SW Water
Hello! I think I'm right in that energy companies will now refund you any credit you're in on your 'anniversary' with them. Does this apply to water companies as well. At the last meter reading (3 months ago) I was £77 in credit with SW Water (£44 per month DD), so can I get my money back from them and get my future DDs…

Wrong water meter and refund
My water bills have increased dramatically over the last few years, despite my usage being pretty much same. Thames Water eventually came on site today to check, and basically they were taking readings from the wrong meter in my block of flat. They confirmed by turning off the water supply at the meter. Their system (and…

Screwed over by NPower & Sainsburys- advice needed!!
My bf and I rented a house until Jan of this year. We were with NPower but took part in a mass switch to Sainsbury's Energy in June. At the time, we gave a meter reading for gas and leccy to Sainsbury's which my bf has written on our bill. Everything went fine from then on. We cancelled with Sainsbury's when we left and…
