We’ve had the following helpful email from onlinefocus reader Chris Stanley:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Did you know you could get ?34 from your water company by filling in a simple form <\/p>\n

Like so many , my water bill arrived on my doorstep the other day and reading through the leaflet I noticed that you could apply to the water company for a Surface Water Drainage Rebate to reduce the charge are charged to the property of ?34.This charge is taken on the basis of rain water from your property drains into the sewer. If your rain water drains into a soakaway in your garden you could apply for a reduction in the charge by phoning your company. I am sure that many of you could benefit from this. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/em><\/p>\n

Thanks for pointing this out, Chris. The Essex Water booklet<\/a> says:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“Sewerage services charges include the cost of disposal of
\nrainwater from your premises.
\nIf you think that the rainwater from your property does
\nnot drain to the public sewer, please call the relevant
\ncompany below and ask for details of their surface water
\ndrainage rebate.
\nAnglian Water: 0845 791 9155
\nThames Water: 0845 920 0800”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
