am I right in thinking it would be around £5 per day to make up 1000L?

Gosh Yorkshire water is a fair bit more expensive than NWL! ? Still cheaper than spotless though....
Ask them if it's possible to fit a sub-meter so you aren't charged for what they'd class as sewerage so the waste water going down the drain although not sure if it's technically allowed to go down the drain or not, its certainly worth asking the question
No buissiness rate my water authority know what I do and just charge me for the water for the vans
I wasn't sure at all and no doubt different companies could well have different approaches to this unless they can't charge business rates on registered residential properties ?
No idea , been like this since 2004 when I went WFP they are quite happy with what ime doing and are fully aware it’s business use and have never suggested commercial rates , in fact I think commercial rates might be cheaper per cubic meter than what ime paying , I have customers that are farmers and they pay half what ime paying .
I have a main meter in the road and a sub meter in the house that records the water used for the vans they deduct the water reading from the sub meter from the main meter so I only pay fir the water on the sub meter and pay fir the water and sewerage charge on what’s left from the main meter if that makes sense
Sorry to jump on this but as it’s a recent post.. I’ve just asked my waste water company about having a sub meter to reduce my waste water bill (we pay 2 different companies, Southern and Icosa) and they are saying there is no further reduction entitlement as the water I use off site will ultimately end up in the ground/sewer. Are the reductions you are getting off the waste water costs or do I need to ask for a reduction from the fresh water provider?
The reduction in cost I get is taken off the sewage charge I only pay for the water ,as the waist water DOESN'T GO IN TO ANY DRAIN , it goes on the garden so as it’s not going into the drains the water company don’t have to process it so there is no charge . My supplier is south west water other providers maybe different. My waist is viewed the same as rain water going on land , when I had the sub meter fitted the water company came and checked that I had soak aways off the roof water no idea what that had to do with anything they wanted to see how I was filling the vans and were happy with it been like this since 2004 .
