Water Rates Dursley
Homes in the UK generally only have two forms of water rates: metered and unmetered. The easiest way you can find out which you have is to take a look at your water bill. If you can see a meter number on your water bill, this means that you will have metered water rates. If you can't see this number, the account number may also start with MC for Metered Customers or UC for Unmetered Customers.
If you don't have access to a bill, you can check around your property for a water meter, which would be located either near the stop tap in the kitchen or garage or the garden within a small box set into the ground. If you find a water meter then you will have metered rates, and you must provide regular meter readings so that your water supplier can accurately bill you.
Homes without a water meter will have a rateable value instead. The rateable value is essentially an estimated water consumption value, based on factors such as property size, location etc, on which your bill is based.
The average water rates Dursley residents are being charged result in an average water bill of around £373 per year. This amount combines both water supply and sewerage costs.

Alternately, if you are just looking to understand how water rates work a little more, then this guide to water rates will get you going.
