Don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking it at all. I'm glad there's people prepared to attempt hold the ££££ makers/stealers to account. I'm just not very hopeful with such a broken system.

What happened to your info about the superiority of Scottish water? On a par with Scandinavian I think it said.

 

Meanwhile the privatised English water companies are dumping so much into crap into the sea that we're pissing off our continental neighbours.

We're in a bit of a pickle as a country at the moment.

Water? A natural resource like oil? Why should they charge for the provision of that?🙄

You wanna go to the well, burn or Lough wi a bucket, and drink the untreated water ?

Never mind disposing of all your shite within your own curtailage?

And obviously all that infrastructure, dams filterbeds, resovoirs and pipes are totally free to provide and maintain?

Scheesh!

You work out what a cuck is yet ??. 
With a reply as feeble and impotent as that I think it’s plain to see you probably do actually realise you might have been a bit keen to say the least.

How does that work with a meter then?

 

My water unmetered charge (includes waste as the bigger portion) is £400/annum. If I had a meter it would be about £150/annum, but priority for meter fitting is to people moving in to unmetered properties so they are not rushing to fit one.

As I understand it if you are metered you receive a monthly or quarterly bill if not it’s included in the council tax as a set fee. My property like a good few in Scotland has a bore hole with all the associated uv, ph and particulate systems in place. That and the septic tank qualifies us for a decent discount on our council tax charge.

Moving a lot OT; do you use an electric pump for the borehole and also treat all the water with UV?

Yes, I have an outlet for external use ie pressure washer etc that’s before the treatment set up but everything that comes into the house goes through it.
