Welsh Water Assessed Charge

aussie_in_wales

I have recently applied for a water meter having put in a new stop tap as Welsh Water said I couldn't have one at the previous stop tap location due to access.

The potable water comes in under my terrace and goes left and right to the other terraces on the row.

The assessor came out and said I still couldn't have a meter due as the length of pipe wasn't long enough.

I'm the only person living in a two bedroom house

I've been given three different assessed bills.

1. Before the meter was requested - £506.60
2. After the water meter was requested - £431.99
3. After it was deemed a water meter couldn't be fitted - £460.51

I've contacted Welsh Water and they cannot give me a reason as to why the bill rose after it was deemed the water meter couldn't be fitted. I know it's £30 but it seems like they are pulling figures out of the air.

I'd be interested to hear from anyone else who is on an assessed charge to see what you're paying.

Thank you

Was.one lat year's price, and the other this year's?

These were all prices for this year.

They have said that the have reassessed my bill after not being able to fit the meter and the discount I was given was too large…

Just an update, I have now had a new final bill which is lower than the ones above.

In this case persistence has paid off.
