Solumtoya: Size of property shouldn't be used because sometimes not all rooms in a property are occupied but we have seen where 3-4 people share one room, this is very common in Eastern European and Asian communities. If the size of your family increased the water company will know whether you tell them or not because your usage level will go up. |

justwise: I agree with you. But they won't know cos these folks don't have meters. If they had meters, there will be no need for estimates unless I'm missing something. That "3-4 in a room" family will still tell the water company that the entire 5 bedroom is occupied by 3 people. The Water Company will prefer using the 5-bed average usage in the area instead cos it provides a better estimate than relying on the integrity of the information by the occupants. |

justwise: I had to go look at my account now. I use about 10 cubic meters monthly which is about 300 liters per day |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by justwise(m): 10:51am On Feb 17, 2023 |
Solumtoya: We use half of that a day, though i'm hardly at home on week days |

justwise: Cool! My wife and I both work from home most days. With gym, there's always loads of laundry too, so there are factors but I will definitely push that 300 liters down jor. |

Hi guys. I recently changed my prepaid gas and electric meter to post paid. EDF said I can choose to pay an estimate of £233 monthly for both gas and electric or they can use my meter readings to charge through direct debit. Abeg which is better? |

Progressivegee:Go for the direct debit option which should be lower and try to reduce your energy consumption within the first 6 months of review... I use Uswitch and Hugo App to monitor our electricity consumption and it has helped track high/low consumption patterns and where to make adjustments. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Progressivegee: They're really one and same. If you pay an estimate, you will still balance up someday. I always prefer any payment method that involves frequent meter readings so you pay as you use but you won't get constant charges, it will keep swinging with your usage |

Dear Ancestors, Please, to the ancestors based in Manchester, I would appreciate your advise on an approach to get a full time job here in Manchester. I don apply tire with regret mails or some form of excuses not to hire. I have even on different occasions fine tune my CV just to meet job requirements but no success still. I had to even start applying for care assistant jobs but most of them ask for a car and driving license. Where I want see car when I'm still new in the city. Please any tips would be really appreciated. Abeg!!! |

Pogracious: When I came to the apartment (2 bed flat but it does not matter as it depends on usage), I called Severn Trent to create a water bill account. After all said and done, I asked for an idea of the cost, the agent asked how many adults, I said 2, she asked if we bath everyday, I said no; she said around £10/month billed twice a year. Six months after, I submitted my meter reading and my first bill came, £75. Another 6 months after, I submitted meter reading and bill was like £90. For the agent to give me that estimate and it almost tallied, I'm not sure there's anything perculiar we are doing. |

eniola1010: If each resident spends about 15 minutes in the shower, without turning off the taps whilst scrubbing, and on again when required........ If you don't turn off the kitchen tap, between washing, then on again to rinse ....... When brushing your teeth, turn off taps when not required and on again........ Excessively using the washing machine/dish washer etc etc It's a whole lot of water wasting down the drains...... Water usage discipline is key ........ To cut water bills ...... |
