Re: Swings and Roundabouts

Our water meters are down a manhole, which we residents can't access. You need a metal thingy to lift the cover up anyway, so that is one utility I have no control over. No gas on this site, all electric, so just one energy to worry about.

Agree! It wouldn't concern me if my 'read' bill is higher than an 'estimated'. I'd rather it was all paid correctly with no nasty surprises later.

When I moved in I had a two year fight with Thames Water. My flat is no. 2, as is the number of the entire site! ( name of road afterwards). I think the misunderstanding came about with the address on the bill, I can't remember, but I was being charged incorrectly. They weren't reading my meter, but the usage of the communal tap, which is in the bin shed area.

And then a couple of years ago my readings weren't changing (when I looked at the bill). I had to have a new meter fitted.

How timely! A letter from edf telling me they're increasing their prices from March.
