[AS Window Cleaning]

Changing my van within the next 12 months. We've just gone on a meter at home, think I'll be getting a 4040 fitted in the van and fill up lunchtime at customers.

this was originally my idea, but with water pressure being so low wouldn't filter enough water to make it worthwhile. that and the water going down the drain....if custys saw that wouldn't look good.

[Steve_c]

wow as low as £9 a month, that would be lovely costs me £150 a month for water.

£150 for water? How explain please.

I used to buy it from another window cleaner local to me in Brighton.

Maybe when you're out and about and you see some with a wfp cleaning windows, just stop and ask how much? At worst they can only say no.

[simon sturmey]

yea true
    cheers dont really now any wfp'ers round my area

[H S and Son]

Ill see what the bills rae like Ian once they start implementing the meter, but if its horrific then thats the plan.

[NJWindowCleaning]

Glad I aint on a meter as our bill for this coming year is £274.68 as I received this last thursday. So I count my lucky stars

[DaveG]

My water bill is £770 p a  domestic use  

I get my "work" water elsewhere

[johnny bravo]

Teesside water rates £38 per month

[rosskesava]

yea true
    cheers dont really now any wfp'ers round my area

Just ask anyone you see working with wfp. I simply said I needed pure water for existing work and not new work.

....................................

My water bill for the year is £428. Amazing how it varies. You'd think it'd be roughly the same all over.

[Sean Dyer]

wow as low as £9 a month, that would be lovely costs me £150 a month for water.

Its just my water rate

Not on a meter
 Live in an old terraced cottage type thing in the country side and rates have stayed low dont think we pay for sewage for some reason as theres a huge cesspit somewhere where all our waste goes or something like that??

But it was 7quid last year and gone upto to 9 this year

My last place wasnt metered but i paid 70 a month in rates , and used same amount as water
Doesnt make sense, one day they will probably put it up same as everyone else

  Simple to explain we have two companies that charge one charges for fresh water and the other for waste water and seeing as though the waste water company assume that 93% of all water we use through our taps returns as waste water charge you accordingly to the companys inlet bill. Every month £70-00 inlet £80-00 waste and this still doesn't cover there entire charge but close enough and not willing to increase payments. Have tried explaining that my wastage would not be as high as 93% of inlet but they don't want to know. A case of rip of britain me thinks.

well if i dont pay for waste this explains the low rate

Also the inlet rate will be low as its a small 2 bed property so they assume no doubt that the usage is low

[steeley]

yeah something tells me that everyone will have to have a water meter fitted soon. Wish i didnt have the meter

[JRH]

Get a sub meter fitted. Deduct the reading from the main meter reading tel them this is for your business and it is no return to sewer. Southern water is £1.15 per 1 cubic meter = 1000lts If you don't do this and tell them what you are doing you will be charged at 95% return to sewer at around £4 per cubic meter. You will be required to fill out the necessary paper work once this is done the water company will be expecting your reading. I have had a compulsory meter fitted and have had my meter and water supply inspected by southern water all ok so far.

Steve C any chance i could have a chat over the phone about water meters with you???
