Hertfordshire Water Rates

Hi all,

Might be a bit of a n00by question, but I was wondering if there was a comparison style website for water rates??

I've had a quick Google and nothing really seems to come up.

I'm currently living in St Albans and as far as I know the two suppliers around here are Thames Water and Affinity Water, but how do I know who's cheapest?

Thanks

    Look at their two websites for the rates? But, since you can't choose your supplier, why would it matter anyway?
    For the same reason, a comp site for water would be pointless, because no one could use it to switch-so it would yield no revenue.

  • you can't choose your supplier...
  • I have only just moved into this property so how do I find out who I'm with/who i pay?

    Ask a neighbour.

    If metered you need to give your supplier your meter reading.

    If you have bought the place it should be on the property information form completed by the last owner.

    Well whoever you phone first of the two, you've got a 50% chance of getting the right one...

    Affinity (Central Region) is the water supplier to St Albans https://www.affinitywater.co.uk/my-bill-how-am-i-charged.aspx Either Thames Valley or Anglian Water deal with sewerage.

    Be grateful you don't have two separate bills to deal with ;)

    Affinity used to be called Three Valleys Water only a few years ago...

    All the above found via Google very easily.
