Bugsy Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 You may have been receiving estimated bills and now they've been and actually read your meter. It's worth making a note of the reading and with everything turned off have a look again after as long a period as you can. This will show if you have any underground leaks or if your neighbour has tapped into your supply.[:D]Sorry, just ignore this drivel, I've just read what you have said, again..[:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Smith Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Now Guepe, don't get all waspy (yok) - Gary was referring to his own answer as drivel because he hadn't read your message carefully enough. Ironic English, hard to follow sometimes.Which water company are you? We always think that our bills are cheap compared to the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ssc Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 How many cubic metres have you used. Thats an easier guide for all to see if your consumption is average Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassis Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Price of water varies from region to region and sewerage charges depend whether you are on mains drains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
