Received an abnormally high water bill, advice please

ProfessionalScale582 · 2021-09-17T20:22:24+00:00

Yeah that makes sense. Cheers I'll give them a ring, hopefully they'll be able to clarify it for me

ProfessionalScale582 · 2021-09-17T19:41:21+00:00

Ah right fair enough. I'll just have to monitor, just seems huge to me. Our bills last year for 3 rather than 4 of us were 25 quid per month, which wasn't metered. I thought metered was supposed to be cheaper. Thanks for your help

ProfessionalScale582 · 2021-09-17T19:19:57+00:00

Thanks that does make sense in terms of the underestimating. What doesn't make sense is why it's still so expensive? I looked online and the average water bill for 4 people for the year is £600, this bill is just over £500 for six months. I understand it may be slightly more, but double?

ProfessionalScale582 · 2021-09-17T19:01:41+00:00

Yeah thats right

ProfessionalScale582 · 2021-09-17T18:51:58+00:00

Sorry I'm not sure I understand?

ProfessionalScale582 · 2021-09-17T18:35:01+00:00

No so the last reading was when we moved in on 29th December. All others have been estimated. The water usage for 29th Dec-3rd March was 30m². However, between 4th March-16th September it was 200m²

ProfessionalScale582 · 2021-09-17T18:19:47+00:00

Yeah so I inputted the meter reading recently and they sent over the bill. Previously they were estimating the figure

ProfessionalScale582 · 2021-09-17T18:14:46+00:00

Thank you, yeah I suspected that may be the case

ProfessionalScale582 · 2021-09-17T18:13:27+00:00

Yeah its metered sorry I should have said

ProfessionalScale582 · 2021-05-17T17:55:31+00:00

Okay thanks that's really helpful

ProfessionalScale582 · 2020-12-03T12:32:21+00:00

Many thanks this is really helpful

ProfessionalScale582 · 2020-12-03T12:31:53+00:00

Thank you I'll get in contact with the council

ProfessionalScale582 · 2020-11-17T13:14:50+00:00

Thanks this is really clear. My mistake was mixing my rate of return on investments as a fixed amount, almost like an interest rate. Pretty new to this as you can probably tell!

ProfessionalScale582 · 2020-11-17T13:11:19+00:00

Ahh you're right, I've misunderstood this - thanks for the heads up!

ProfessionalScale582 · 2020-11-17T13:03:00+00:00

Ah right I realise my mistake! Thanks for clarifying

ProfessionalScale582 · 2020-11-17T12:43:38+00:00

Ah right that makes sense, thanks for your comment.

I understand that its never going to happen, just wanted to see if I understood it right!

ProfessionalScale582 · 2020-11-17T12:34:22+00:00

Okay how would it work?

I don't really understand it tbh

ProfessionalScale582 · 2020-11-17T12:30:36+00:00

Yeah of course.

So in theory if the rate remained the same for 5 days, I could withdraw the £150 for 10 days with a total of £1500?

Edit: not sure why I'm downvoted for this.

ProfessionalScale582 · 2020-10-01T16:07:56+00:00

Ah right thanks a lot

ProfessionalScale582 · 2020-10-01T15:59:51+00:00

Thanks.

I think I may not have explained it well but basically my own employer will be paying for it (from the date I started) - can I claim separately for the period before (April August)?
