Question

I live in a 1 bed flat in london - just got a water rates bill for a quarter for £250 - is that normal?

Answer 1

Er no that aint rite.

There are three of use living in a three bed house in Hertfordshire and our water is £30 per month which is £360 a year.

You need to sort that!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

You should enquire about it. It is very high. You could apply to be put on a meter: it is cheaper, if you do not use much water.

Answer 3

That sounds like a bill for a full year.  Generally, people only receive an annual demand so check the paperwork again.

Answer 4

dont sound right that one

for gods sake wot u doin with it drinking it

Answer 5

I have a three bed house in London and am on a meter.  My last bill was £67 for 6 months.  Yours does sound rather high.  I would ask Thames Water what the rate is and can they put you on a meter.

Answer 6

No that seems very high, I should think if you live on your own you should use about £350 a year. Are you on a meter ?

Answer 7

Mine is about £7 a week.

Answer 8

Lucie it looks to me like they've made a mistake- I'd get on to the phone straight away! Unless you're water is metered? What about the rest of the building? It might be a bill for the whole building? Speak to your landlord as well Lucie.

Answer 9

don't take offence, but are you sure it is for only one quarter. i only get one bill a year, unless they have to remind me cos i've not paid. it sounds far too high for 3 months. give them a call. they are normally quite helpful.
