I cannot for the life of me understand how these water bills are calculated. I get sick of reading how people are up in arms because their bill as gone up £31 to make their total bill £430/year when I am paying £600+, I live in a detached dormer just me and the wife both pensioners and not metered. There is no shortage of rain in my area so am I paying someone elses bill. The trouble is you can’t just change suppliers like with the other utilities its just one big con.. Angry of Golborne…
