you have to pay for a sewage charge as well as water service charge even if you was to half the fee between them it would be a fair payment system
I can see why they are doing it but when the new charges come into effect you wont agree
Same - i am on a tank too and already pay for that so i am not paying someone for doing nothing!why should i be charged for sewage . i think not im on a tank and pay to have it emptied myself .i only pay water rates and thats high just because of where i live and theres only me and the missus
Sounds like you should buy a large tank, fill it from your roof gutters, and use it for flushing the toilet.why should i be charged for sewage . i think not im on a tank and pay to have it emptied myself .i only pay water rates and thats high just because of where i live and theres only me and the missus
I'd love to do that but my house is completely plumbed into the mains so would be a massive job to move toilets etc over to rainwaterSounds like you should buy a large tank, fill it from your roof gutters, and use it for flushing the toilet.

To be honest, mains water is peanuts. We pay £2 a cubic metre and use around £1 a day or less. Cost of pulling floors, replumbing etc ...Just install a tank in the roof and re-plumb your upstairs loo(s)? Pumping rainwater from a collecting/holding tank at ground level is peanuts compared to the cost of mains water.
If your on a sewer, does the water bill usage get used for billing the sewer rate ?To be honest, mains water is peanuts. We pay £2 a cubic metre and use around £1 a day or less. Cost of pulling floors, replumbing etc ...
I'm on a septic tank. So no charge for sewerage. You are right though, there would be a charge if I was but i think its less than the cost of supply of clean water to the house.If your on a sewer, does the water bill usage get used for billing the sewer rate ?
If so, the rain water system would pay off quicker.
You doo get rain there do you ?
Changing the tariff to prepayment without consent is in the News at the Moment. A Times reporter took a job with a company doing just that for British Gas.Same issues with leccy smart meters. I'm constantly contacted by E-On to agree to have one.
What they of course don't tell you about Smart Meters - is that they can use them to change your tariff on-the-fly, can use them to alter the tariff (say to hike rates at peak periods) - and can also use them to cut off supply, or switch the meter to pre-pay - all remotely.
What these meters do - is put you under increasing scrutiny and control.... but they neglect to mention these elements (the ones they are really interested in).
Mates mother got a surprise £1500 water bill, plus the cost of the repair, when her pipe suffered a leak underneath the concrete garage floor (so it wasn't visible at all). On an unmetered supply - that £1500 wouldn't have been charged.
I'm not on metered water, nor do I have a smart leccy meter. I have no plans to adopt either.
