Water bill advice

New to you, or new build property? A meter can be better (cheaper) depending on how many people live in the property. Are you on your own or with others?

It's just me, mum and dad. And sister who comes home like 3 days a month.

I'm moving on to a new property which doesn't have a meter. I don't want a meter, I will wash my car everyday.

But will you wash everyday!

Problem has been somewhat resolved.

Despite doing the tests that AW told us and checking the pipes I could see for leaks... well it turns out we in fact do have a leak. Plumber came out today and after a bit of rooting around found a minute amount of moistness

. Good news is though that it was down to some work the landlady's plumber had done, completely unrelated to us, and he'd not done it properly or something. I dunno, I'm no aqualogist, but it means that the bill is being taken care of by someone else

so that's good!

Have something simaler I'm paying them 20 month and that's it we moved in and got an instant bill of 600 rated not meter I told them to shove it they then sent a bill for 400 and off I again said shove it and simply refused to pay they said that's the price end of when I informed them I find it hard to believe my water costs more than gas and electric they seemed confused when I later talked to some one else and spoke about statutory law and payments and statutory payments are actually null and void (did research on this ) suddenly they accepted my token payment funny that . I'm not a bill dodger but I refuse to pay more for water than gas
