Mine has it too,made in 1998,look up the serial number on the database to find out exactly.
-
Nothing spotted in South Wales yet, never usually see them until mid April in recent years,was earlier as I remember many years ago!
-
Over £150 to buy new equivalents today!
-
Wow,a real bargain there,sorry you’re 350 miles away! Would be worth more to me! Should go very quickly.
-
£65 for 6 months is very cheap! My standing charge alone is more than that. Mine is £115 for 6 months including standing charge,and I use little water at 70 litres a day.
-
I can only say what I use,and different water regions have different prices. My standing charge is £151 a year,and I am living alone using 25 units a year on average which is 25,000 litres.So about 70 litres per day. Each 1000 litres costs £3.40 which includes the cost of sewerage waste,(less if a septic tank is used) Here you have up to 2 years to trial a meter and can change back if you want.But it’s really a no brainer,even with 3 in a house it is about half the unmetered charge.To equal the unmetered charge I would have to use 6 times as much water as I do.
-
Seriously consider a water meter! Free fitting I believe and pay a £150 a year standing charge plus £3.40 per 1,000 litres used. That’s our charge anyway,comes to £230 a year altogether instead of about £680 unmetered.
-
£50 a week! Terrible lot for one person, sounds like a biggish property though,possibly band F? Think it would cost more in Wales,though houses are worth less!
-
Welcome to Pigeon Watch!
-
It was a better system in my opinion,every adult over 18 contributed for the council services instead of just the householder!
-
That must be about the dearest council in England! Band F here will be £3,305 here and that’s bad enough! House values are greater in Bristol though.
-
That’s a much lower cost than my band B of £1,780! Also my house is probably only half the value of yours at £120,000.It’s ridiculous here,gone up from under £300 a year to £1780 in 30 years while wages have merely trebled!
-
I’d prefer 4.9% to our 7.95% increase ! 😊Some areas are 10% or more.
-
Bit cheaper down Cwmbran way I think? Band D here,worth about £175,000- £260,000 is now £2280 a year!
-
Just had my latest bill, band B house worth about £120,000, council tax £1778.-25% single occupancy £1333! Up 7.95% on last year. Now 10% of total income,Yet the owners of £1million+ London houses paying under £1,000 a year. No doubt there are some bills higher with similar low value homes?
