Building work and sewerage charges

Slinky

Can't find anything looking back through the threads, sorry if this has been answered before.

We're about to have major building work done on our house which will obviously involve using a lot of water. At the moment our incoming water is metered and our sewerage charges are assumed to be us returning 90% of water used to the sewage system.

Is it possible to get a reduction in sewage charges when there is obviously going to be less water going back to them than normal?

We're with Anglian.

Correct me if I am wrong but you are the man(a builder) who took on the water company about the water supplied to your swimming pool and fish pond.

You(understandably) objected to paying the drainage element on the metered water to fill the pond and swimming pool on the grounds that that water will not be returned through the sewerage system.

However your situation is unusual in that most people don’t have swimming pools and artificial ponds.

I also think that you should declare an interest in that you are now selling meters for those in your situation or who use large amounts of water in their garden/washing cars etc.

Whilst I applaud you for your stance; I suggest that the average user will need to use huge amounts of water for the garden etc to recoup the high cost of buying your meter; bearing in mind that the water companies give an allowance for water not returned to the sewer.

However above all on this forum you must declare if you are selling products; which you are!!!
