Title: Waterbill, reasonable?
Post by: [GQC] Tim on April 19, 2009, 06:00:37 pm
I've received the keys of a place of my own, a one bedroom semi detached house, two people living there, and I'm just wondering if the payment plan I got is correct.

There is no water meter at the property (so that's great for wfp), but I'm just wondering if the yearly charge is normal.

This is all a bit new to me, so please let me know.

Trouble is if you moan to Thames Water they'll just try to persuade you to go on a meter which as you're wfp probably wouldn't be the best option (unless you can offset against tax).

I'd swap yours for mine.

I pay a bit under £200 a year for a 2 bedroom flat.  I'm billed by Thames for sewage and Southern for supply.

About 500 ltrs a day I guess that includes waste, but not flushing for 10 mins each use

After you've used you Ro it helps the life of the membrane if the system is set to flush it through.

Wow, looks very good compared to some of you then.

I'm very very glad I'm not kon a meter, that's for certain. :)

I will ask just to be certain though, then again it's Guildford, so it would be more expensive the some places wouldn't it lol.

Forget how lucky i am sometimes having a bore hole and free water.

I really think some of you should setup a rain water system, would be loads cheaper and just run it through DI.

I wanted to go on a meter because my RO is elsewhere and I live on my own.  They wouldn't fit one thoiugh.  The flat that I live in has a lot of shared pipework.  Although the water company are prepared to fit two meters to measure the supply, mine would require three.  I bet they would have found a way to do it if my RO was here.

if you are in a flat like that knock em down .i got my brothers down to 7 quid a month . tell them you,re never there and your neighbour in a 3 bed house on a meter only pays 16 quid a month. they have to bargain cos they cannot fit one.
