Damn, I'm with ST as well. You're also going to get absolutely reamed with council tax. I think Birmingham were asking for a 25% increase. Hopefully that won't happen.I had a meter fitted and have been saving a few quid compared to a fixed rate monthly.
Joy of joys to know here is what Severn Trent are doing.
Fixed Rate (Combined) = +21.4% increase
Metered Rate (Combined) = +28.7% increase (Water supply charge on it's own is going up +40.8%!)
Theres reward for you trying to be responsible and save water.
**** Private Water!
Zero investment and zero policing. It's going straight into foreign investors pockets
