£719 for fecks sake!
Volume charge 209 cubic metres................. £2.17 per metre = £454.03
Standing charge 11.11
Sewerage on 209 cubic metres ...................£180.36 per metre = £376.95
Less 39% not returned to sewer ................£147.01 cr
Standing charge (sewerage) .......................£24.53
My business has consumed 132 cubic metres since April 4th the rest is household use. The bill runs from April 23rd so I've used a bit less than 132.

I feel your pain! >:(

Must be cleaning a lot of windows Dave if you are using that much water. ;) Look at this way, it's £30 a week. Now how much do you turn over in a week? And it's tax deductible, so you can take 29% off that. I assume you budget for it in your cashflow? Otherwise it would be a hit :(
-
My Water Bill :
£0.00 Included in Business Rates ScottishWater is part of Scottish Goverment so we don't have private Water companies up here.
-
or ro systems I suppose? ;)
-
OP what system do you use to produce pure water? RO Or a 40/40 thanks
-
450 gpd ro.
-
We are not on a water and use ro's i am assuming a 40/40 produces less waste but the filters are more money?
-
back to the ladders Dave- dont fight it , you know it makes sense
-
Should be tax deductible as it is a business cost, but still a difficult pill to swallow.
Thought about rain water harvesting, could be the way forward
-
get and dig in to that mountain now silly boy ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
those solar panels will compensate for it dave, with all the sunshine we have had ;)

I have always thought about doing and especially as I live in Scotland.
Has anybody done this?

Yeah-that's it-perhaps less.
Your 500litres is half a cubic metre bud.
You're using 1.5 cubic metres per 500l of pure.

Dave do you use aqua-dapter?
I do and 1.4 pencil jets this combined saves me 25%.
Pencil jets from gardiners.
I'm a one man band and use 200 litres a day; don't feel like I
Scrimp on water.
Really noticed the difference with pencil jets when I started.
My setup is at parents as not got a garden.
One day I hope to move then nice to have setup where I live but
Not looking forward to water metre.
I'm on one where I currently live but too small here for my ro.
Hope you can save some water Dave.

Nope, no Aquadapter - it can't save anymore water than my tap (I turn off after every window and throttle back the flow). I do use a lot of water though, it's how I like to work - I clean everything with it including gutters and conservatory roofs. If I fitted smaller jets I'd probably simply rinse even more. ;D
I've saved loads today though ............. only done two jobs.
