anyone help please.
just moved into a new flat, first time with a water meter, I thought the HA had set up the bill so I have no start reading.
When I ring to set up the account on Monday will they ask for a start reading or will they have one already?if not what will happen? should I guess the start reading? if so I've been in a month, one shower a day and 2 loads of washing a week, the toilet is duel flush, just me, so if the reading is 109.90 today what would a reasonable start reading be, in case I have to guess a start reading or to know their figure is reasonable.

There are two of us at home all day and our average is about 70cu.m/year for the two of us = 0.7cum week/person so a rough estimate of 3-4 cu.m a month won't be very far wide of the mark.
and we will never, ever return.
I was given the reading for gas and electric (electric turned out to be totally wrong) but not the water, I'll find out tomorrow if the water company have a reading, if not I would like to give them mine...well my best guess.
I believe the 'so-lo' tariff is only for Anglian water.
