Water Rates Great Malvern

Water rates in Great Malvern depend on whether your home has a water meter or not. You can easily find out whether your Great Malvern water rates are metered or not by looking at your water bill. Homes with metered Great Malvern water rates will have a meter number listed on their water bills.

Homes that are not metered won't, but they will have the rateable value of the home instead. The rateable value part of your Great Malvern water rates will have been determined by the local council in the 90s and will probably not have changed much since then.

If you've just moved in or you don't have a bill handy, you can look outside your house or in the front garden for a meter. Sometimes the meter may be located inside your house near to the stop tap.

Great Malvern Water Hardness

Great Malvern water hardness is rated as soft water. While rainwater itself is relatively soft, water hardness can change through the water cycle. Due to the way water filters through rocks in Great Malvern Water's supply area, Great Malvern water picks up minerals, such as magnesium or calcium, on the way to your tap.

Soft water means that your laundry should be softer after washing, your energy bills lower, and appliances will last longer as there will be less build-up of limescale.
