I got my water bill a couple of weeks ago, and paying it prompted me to write this review! £150 for six months - less than £1 a day - not bad! I've been with Severn Trent for about four years now, mainly because the people we bought the house from had an account with me (and I even think it was a bit in ... Read the complete review

Here is an experiment for you. Take two cups or glasses from the cupboard and fill one with water from the hot tap and one from the cold tap. Put them outside in the frost tonight so fully exposed to the elements. Which one will freeze first? The answer is at the bottom of the review to save you getting your feet ...

Water is a product hydrogen colliding with oxygen twice. It is, and has been on Planet Earth in abundant supply before the existence of humans. Yes it has to be managed, especially where it is scarce, but generally in the world there is no shortage. Water is essential to life on the planet, without water it is unlikely ...

ar water bill goes up more than the rate of inflation. It seems that utility companies can do what they like. Generally water companies charge a flat rate calculated on the rateable value of your property. Water meters are suitable for households that use less water. When a meter is installed householder pays ... Read the complete review

We changed to having a water meter about eight months ago, having sat down and done the sums. As we sometimes have to work away from home, it's absolutely no contest. Because we have a four bed house, but there are only two of us, on the one hand we were having to pay about £400 p.a. to Severn Trent for water, but on the other, it ... Read the complete review

No matter where I move to, the water tastes horrible when provided by a large company that is competing for customers. Like anything mass produced, a low quality product is the result of cost cutting. I doubt many of you have had the opportunity to live in a place where fresh water comes from a well, but I have and I can tell you its a ... Read the complete review

Yesterday I went swimming in my local swimming pool. I must admit I enjoy swimming, but I do find the chlorine in the water to get somewhat painful after a while. Its as though they keep adding more. So I looked up some other treatments for the water and found out about the way in which the water is treated in swimming pools. ... Read the complete review

My local water board is Anglian Water, I think their water is disgusting, when I run my hot water to wash the pots or get bathed, it is white, you can actually see the limescale floating around. I have to use an electric kettle with a filter in the spout to prevent the limescale going into my tea. This prevents it going into the ... Read the complete review

When my girlfriend and I moved into our first home a year ago, the main worry I had was how much bills actually were. Whilst all other utility bills were quite reasonable, I was pleasantly surprised at how low my water bills were. When the first quarterly bill came through from Severn Trent, it was that low that I was worried that ... Read the complete review

Where do I start writing an opinion on water? Well, I have managed to break it down in to three main areas that I use water for: 1.Drinking 2.Washing 3.Squirting 1. To drink, plain or mixed with a delightful tasting cordial. Straight from the tap is fine by me; I don’t mind the slight copper taste it ... Read the complete review

The water that comes from my domestic tap is clinically pure even if a variety of chemicals are used to make it so. Unfortunately supplying drinking water to the public is no longer a service but a business and like all businesses it is driven by profit for the shareholders. We will not forget the fat cat salaries either. It is this ... Read the complete review
