as the price of water, like everything else, is dear now, just wondering if rates are cheaper if you declare to your provider that you run a water based business and if you did, is it cheaper or dearer?

You could always phone them up anonymously and ask them the question.

You could harvest rainwater.

You could harvest rainwater.

You can ameliorate the situation if you have enough storage. Especially on the west side of the country and Wales of course.

A guy down here in Bristol had 5000 litres of storage which at 350 litres a day gives about 3 weeks on a 4/5 day week if there was no rain whatsoever.

He lived in a semi and got half of his neighbour's water by removing a downpipe! 

I just wonder whether the cost of tanks and pumps and general unsightliness is worth it.
