I am expected to pay 4 x more than I paid in London last year and we don’t even have a bath , can’t even drink it, have to buy water to boil in kettle! It’s a rip off for sure.

Yes, when you look at the leaflet they send you about 24% of your joint water and sewerage bill is for THEIR finance costs!!!!!!!

Re-nationalise now.

They told there was no meters and I had to pay a standard bill of £350 from August to March next year. My last bill in London with Thames water for 5 months was only £85 – I am fuming about this. Is there anything that can be done about it

Asking people what they think of paying extra on their bills to pay for people that are struggling to pay theirs. Dam cheek that’s what I think. We are all struggling with energy bills and now you want us to pay for other peoples water bills.

They are a confirmed technology and mean the company can read 100 times more meters in a single day. They are not trying to rip you off, if you think that they are simply go outside and read your own meter to check the bill…

You are correct though that if surface water from the roof of your house does not enter the sewerage system then the water company will remove this charge from your bill. The company however does not hold records of how houses were built and it is up to you to ask for this charge to be removed. See here

So they have to enter to read the meter but they insist they do not need to… are they trying to pull a fast one? I think they are, I’ve told him to insist they enter is premises to get a true reading and refuse to pay any bills that are estimated from an outside source.
Secondly for those of you who do not know if your water does not use the drains to drain water from your building they have no legal right to charge you but if you are not sure you can ask them as they know which homes have self drainage.

Works out as £500 per year – £130 more than when we were unmetred. I’m furious. 2 adults and 1 baby living in an average small size house should not have to pay this much. We only shower – my wife showers down the gym for god’s sake. Never hose the garden. SOUTHERN WATER : RIP OFF MERCHANTS!
