A new water billing system is currently being consideration by Thames Water and has been welcomed by the Consumer Council for Water. The changes could see customers bills change, and represent the size of their homes.
The proposed system will set houses into bands which will be determined by the number of bedrooms each house has.
Obviously this new billing system will be for those who do not have a water meter in place. So a one or two bedroom house or flat could see a drop in their water bills, whilst those people in a property with 3 bedrooms or more could face higher charges.
Up to 38,000 customers will be affected with the new proposal. These are houses that wanted meters but it was not practical or possible to fit them.
Whilst this should hopefully prove to be a bit more representative, time will only tell if it will be a fairer system or not.
