Why is my bill based on rateable value?
Unmeasured water bills are mainly based on rateable values for historical reasons. The Water Industry Acts 1991 and 1999 allow all the water companies to calculate water bills using rateable values for properties that were built before 1 April 1990 and don’t have a water meter. For properties built between 1 April 1990 and 31 March 2000 your bill is based on an ‘average’ rateable value which we use to calculate our Standard Uniform Charge.
