Water Rates King's Lynn
Whether your home has a water meter will dictate your water rates in King's Lynn. You can easily find out if your King's Lynn water rates are metered or not by taking a look at your water bill. Homes that have a water meter will have a meter number listed on their water bills.

This rateable value will have been determined by the local council in the 90s and is unlikely to have changed significantly since. The rateable value is determined by several factors such as the size of the property, the area and the general condition and availability of local services

King's Lynn Water Hardness
King's Lynn water hardness is rated as very hard. While rainwater itself is relatively soft, water hardness can change through the water cycle. Due to the way water filters through rocks in Anglian Water Water's supply area, King's Lynn picks up minerals, such as magnesium or calcium, on the way to your tap.
The King's Lynn water hardness rating means that the water in your home will lead to scaling in kettles, sinks, dishwashers and loos. Below are a few tips on what you can do to help mitigate the effect of hard water furring or scaling in your home.
- Baths, sinks and toilets: Use an acidic sanitiser often (available in local shops) to clean susceptible surfaces in order to clear and counteract limescale deposits.
- Kettles: Do not overfill your kettle with water, using only as much as you need. Make sure that you clean your kettle by half-filling and adding two tablespoons of white vinegar, leaving it for four hours in order to loosen scale build-up. Rinse and repeat to remove the scale.
- Dishwashers: Take advantage of the built-in water softener. Make sure you regularly top it off with dishwasher salt in the appropriate compartment.
