Hi,
Got my overgrown water bill today.
On the reverse it states I could reduce my bill if I do not allow
surface water to drain into sewers.
NOW how much storage would i need to conserve the rainfall from my
roof. Any ideas?


I thought most houses in the UK were built with soakaways for rain
water. Ours always have.


my 1910 house roof drains into the foul sewer.

But do the water company charge more because of that? I mean how do they
know?
