kingdonkey   10 #25 Posted March 18, 2009 They quoted me nothing to install the water meter, all free of charge and part of the lovely service from Yorkshire Water!  With ref to what i paid and when, and what my mate paid and when. Put it this way he bought his a year after me and paid twice as much! Makes no sense.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

hillsbro   32 #27 Posted March 18, 2009 How much to have a water meter put in ? My bill just arrived £515 2 bed bungalow.  It's free. Mine was installed a couple of weeks after I applied. I also have a two-bedroom bungalow, and so your saving will probably be as much as mine (see post #23) if not more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

horribleblob   213 #30 Posted March 18, 2009 Interesting variety of charges. I've been thinking of getting a water meter but heard it would make it more difficult to sell the house in future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

bobsyouruncle   10 #33 Posted March 18, 2009 We havent received our new bill yet, from 25/04/08 to 25/03/09, the bill was £469.08. We're not on a meter, and only live in a 2 bed ground floor flat. I think somethings wrong with the bill for last year but YW said it was correct. I'm still not so sure, as I'm dreading this years bill.

kidley   48 #36 Posted March 18, 2009 if that's the case there's no problem then, if anybody feels they would be better off with a meter all you have to do is try it if its worse with a meter go back to rates Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
