Southern Water bill so high.... Please help!
Hello there, I'm wandering if anyone can offer me any advice as I am really at my wits end with this. We had our Southern Water meter fitted a while ago and recently got our 3 month bill.

Surface water drainage rebate?
I just got this charge removed as I only have soakaways. My question is this. Am I entitled to a refund of this charge since I have been living at this address since 2004? After all,if I owed Southern Water money from the past,they'd expect it off me. Thanx in advance.

Increased garden watering this summer - water bill reduction?
My latest water bill (metered, Wessex Water) shows a 50% increase in consumption which is not surprising given the amount of garden watering we've been doing in the few months. In the recent wet summers, our consumption has been pretty consistent with winter usage. Although we already get a standard 5% reduction in…

Entertain me...
I'm stupid. I have never understood water bills and the different parts they refer to (no excuse, I should find out). Anyway, I've spoken to my water provider today as I moved recently. The lady announced that I'd be paying less per month as I wouldn't have a 'water surface charge' (or something like that) at this…

I'm just renovating my father's house, and noticed that the water flow from the taps is really high (seems to fill a sink twice as fast as the ones at home). As I've just arranged for a water meter to be fitted, I wonder if anyone knows how to reduce the flow. I assume I could change the taps but this seems like an…
