My neighbour and I live in similar properties with the same council tax banding, but our water bills are different. Why?
Because water bills are based on the rateable value of a property and not the council tax bands, you may find that your neighbour lives in a similar house but that the rateable value for their property is different – this means your water and/or sewerage bills will be different too. The rateable value does not reflect your council tax banding which means that if your council tax banding changes, your rateable value will not.
