Where does Severn Trent water come from?
The water in Severn Trents catchment area comes from various sources, stretching from rivers and reservoirs, to underground aquifers.

Water Rates South Normanton
Your home will have metered or unmetered rates. If you have metered rates, your water bill will display a meter number. If you can't see this, the account number may also start with MC for Metered Customer or UC for Unmetered Customer.
No water bill? You may be able to find a water meter by searching around your property. These would be located either near the stop tap in the kitchen or garage, or in the garden within a small box set into the ground. If your property has a water meter, you must provide regular meter readings so that your water supplier can accurately bill you.
Homes that are not metered will have a rateable value instead. This uses factors such as property size and the availability of local services to create an estimated consumption value of your home, which is then used to generate your bill.
The average water rates South Normanton residents are being charged result in an average water bill of around £373 per year. This amount combines both water supply and sewerage costs.
