Water bill dropped
We've moved home, from a three bed flat to a three bed terrace (but with two extra rooms). Our water bill has apparently dropped from c£380 a year to about £200. Does this seem about right?

Overbilled for Water?

United Utilities charge for water run off/drainage, which isn't a feature in this street, but they charge…

Water Board refusing to fit external stop tap!

Yorkshire Water want to help themselves to my money
It’s bad enough when the energy companies decide to help themselves to our money because they have access to our bank accounts because we pay by direct debit but when a water company does the same thing it is extortion because none of us has any choice about who supplies our water (unless we are lucky enough to have our…
