in Water bills
I have been informed that ST have increased prices for water at about 23% however I have also been told that for those with water meters the price hike is about 42% which I find totally unacceptable as this is supposed to be a fairer way of charging for water used and it seems that ST want to equalise meter billing with the rateable billing. Can anyone clarify if this is correct

My Severn Trent DD ( I'm on a meter ) has increased from £24.70 a month to £31 month which is roughly 25%1

Ditto my ST is on a meter - from £30 to £42. (£144 a year) I think that's good value for money - all your fresh water on tap and the waster disposed of for £1.50 a day
My next door is unmetered - from £60 to £74 (£168 a year)
I know which bill I'd rather have.
The difference between meter/unmetered will continue to narrow as more and more properties get metered and ST still needs to meet its budgets.Never pay on an estimated bill. Always read and understand your bill1 -
