Wastewater
Hi All, I may have read this wrong... Thames Water charge 70.41p per cubic Meter Southern Water charge £2.198 per cubic meter If I haven't read it wrong, how can Southern water get away with charging so much more than Thames water, and what is the justification in doing so? Cheers

6 Month Estimate - Severn Trent
FTB - moved into property (sort of) and I rang Severn Trent Waters to let them know and to give a meter reading etc. So once that was done I said 'how shall I pay?

May have left tap running for months!
I discovered this morning that my outside tap has been left running. As its at the front of my house, I have a hose that connects it to the back garden, which is why I hadn't noticed it. It might be that one of kids in the close has messed with it and turned in on by accident, but I have a bad feeling its been running…

Hi all Long time since my last post. Wondering if anyone out there can help me out with some sage words of advice.

Previous water company harassing me?
I purchased a property around 6 months ago. The previous owner agreed to complete all outstanding bills prior and on the completion date. He also said he would let all the utility companies know and cancel them which he seemed to have done. I went ahead and set up my own utlities with different companies. Then a few months…
