Title: How much are you paying on a meter?
Post by: ftp on November 25, 2009, 08:53:32 pm
Sorry to post about this again but as the title says how much do you pay? I will shortly be on a meter and use 500l per day at least. Think it's about £1.70 a cubic metre so double that for waste? So £3.40 per day plus sewerage rates, plus whatever my household uses so £5.00 a day?
Anyone care to share their bill and usage?

Up to 1000l per week and last year my bill came to just over £850 :-[

Hi Dave , I had my meter taken out when i moved in..it was a few years ago now, but might be worth a call to the water company to find out if you can?

Looks like I'll need to do a couple more houses a week to pay for it  :'(
Might have to clean in the rain at this rate. Sons housekeeping is about to double - he doesn't pay enough anyway imo.  :)

maybe some of u should just go back to TRAD if u cant change the meter.a lot lower overheads and less hassle.get used to trad pole work on some 3 storey and dangerous 1st floor windows, sorted and by some of the posts on here about how many houses u do a day.i can match that trad and more some days!.ok not just 3 hrs a day like some of u do but a good 6 hours!! ;) ;) ;D ;D ;D ;D
