Title: wfp cleaners on water meters?
Post by: tatman on July 07, 2009, 08:34:30 pm

how many of you lads out there are on meters? And how much extra compared to rates are you paying? ROUGHLY? ??? I use around 1000l + a week and produce all my pure water via a 40/40 ro set up. I am at present the only one left in my road without a meter? Noisy neighbours have been asking a few questions about my water consumsion noisy f@@@ers just wondered what the extra cost would work out at?

At a 1000 litres a week - nothing to worry about - only £2.50 -£3.00

Depending on the ratio of filtrate to waste water your system produces, it can be very expensive indeed. e.g if your system is discarding water at a ratio of 3:2 you will be drawing 5000 liters for every 2000 you produce as filtrate, add sewerage charges and you can see what i mean.

On the bright side if you keep accurate records your accountant should put some of your bill through the books.

But why in your position would you volunteer to have a meter fitted? Just because the rest of the road does? You are doing nothing wrong.

Hi. I worked mine cost out at 0.006p per litre based on my true water charge. But if you have a water meter fitted on an outside tap and tell the water board its for your garden you wont be charge for the sewerage part of the bill.
Mart.
