Water Rates Llandudno

If you don't have a water bill, you can look around your home for a water meter. This would usually be next to the stop tap in the garage or kitchen, or it could be in the garden in a small box sunk in the ground.

If your home is equipped with a water meter, it is important that you give your supplier regular water meter readings. Not doing so could result in your provider inaccurately estimating your bills.

Homes that don't have a water meter will have the rateable value instead. The rateable value is based on several factors such as the size of your home, its location, and the availability of services to create an estimated consumption value, which is then used to generate your bill.
