You can easily find out very whether your Chesterfield water rates are metered or not by looking at a water bill you may have in the property.

If your property does not have a water meter, you will have the rateable value of the home instead. The rateable value part of your Chesterfield water rates will have been determined by the Chesterfield local council back in the 1990s and will probably remain the same as the rates rarely change.
