how much is your home water bill ?

[gmb45]

meaty asked me to do this by the way

so while i am in here, mine varies between 16 ish and 20 depending on how much i have used watering the garden in summer, there is 2 of us in the hoose, tbh i think this is the "best" bill we pay we are on a meter.

Thanks gmb. For unaware I am allergic to the new thread button - hence no new thread on M-H-M anniversary on 2 October.


My water bill, one VIP member living on own, no water meter, on rates. ?531.34
for the year. Water pressure 2 bar, shared lead pipe, shared sewer.

not sure what that breaks down to but taking a shit costs more than cleaning your teeth.

Water company won't give DK member discount, even the theifing gov give discount on council tax.

Local water company been advertising that putting fat down sinks blocks pipes and puts prices up.
never done that, so the fat I save off the bacon for the birds in the winter, sorry birds, getting melted into slim ingots, and gets posted down the drain.

After sorting somebody else's problem with electric meter, discovered you CAN pay ?1 a time, so been ringing water co daily on their free phone number and paying a pound.

Perhaps meat you could fit your water meter in reverse
Result:
?531.34 in credit, water company would pay you ?1 every time you rang them for free
Not sure what you will do with all the shit though, there's always a down side!

[gmb45]

?531.34 fur a year ffs you need to phone them up to get a water meter put in m8 your paying way to much, water bills with out a meter go on property size and location, tell them you want a meter you wont regret it ( you dont have to pay for this ) i pay no more than ?200 a year and thats for a big 2 bed bungalow with 2 people in it, and the basads dont advertise the fact that you can have a meter installed becuse they loose money mostly.

let me know how you go on meaty if you phone them up.

[Meat-Head]

I phone them and I'm as bad as "Victor Meldrew", they refuse to drop the price, so ill pay it ?1 a day.

I leave the tap running 24/7 - keeps the drains clear.

Got an off line friend (non dk member) who pays the same.

If you think about it, they have a LARGE parking lot which is full of cars, so think how many people Work there, that money. Won't pay for the bald bloke who is the parking lot attendant. Two weeks pay init.

[gmb45]

crazy ffs, all ya got to do is get a meter installed ffs and see you bill fall a lot.

[jaws2]

Call them Meat and get meater fitted

See if you can get a pipeline from gmb45 and share his bill, its about time a moderator helped out a VIP member!
After all us veteran members down in the engine room have to keep shoving the coal to keep the forum going
I know its pish but some have to do it

If no joy with above when my brown envelop arrive I'll pop at bloody fit a meater for you myself!!!!

hi guys im in leeds 3 bedroom house Yorkshire water bill for year ?551 2 adults 2 kids

[Kalipo]

I pay ?32 ish a month.. United Utilities or something..

we dont have a water meter but i will avoid the meter as at the moment im not sure its posible to measure how much we're using.. We dont flush our toilet but when we have a bath i dont turn the tap off as we have a wet room..

i have a friend who refuses to use energy saving bulbs.. he uses 100w bulbs and never turns his lamps off downstairs.. he says its not worth it.. the saving isnt enough to bother about!!

[Meat-Head]

Thanks. Tell me more ABIUT your supplier, like the gas/electric you don't pay for, from a third party, rather than local water co?

as fir your mate, yes in winter put old type in, heat and light
