Water Rates Nuneaton
The rates you pay for your water depend on whether your home has a water meter or not. You can find out very easily whether your Nuneaton water rates are metered or not by looking at a water bill you may have somewhere in the property. Homes with metered Nuneaton water rates will have a meter number listed on one of your water bills.
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.
Properties without a water meter, will have the rateable value of the home instead. The rateable value part of your Nuneaton water rates will have been determined by the Nuneaton local council back in the 1990s and will probably remain the same.
