Hi, how much have you been charged for your water? When I worked my bill out this year I was charged 1.78 ytl/M3. How about you?

Hi doll, yes we have a pool, I was aware there is a another rate for having a pool, i just wanted to see if the council was playing fair with everyone as you know how prices can vary !!

Yes its true. If you have a pool in Uzumlu your water is charged at 1.5 YTL per ton. If you dont its 500 Kurus per ton. This does not include KDV on either charge. Cant understand how they work this out. Surely the more water you use you pay more anyway. Why should you then have to pay 3 tmes as much for every glass of water you drink. My wife,who is Turkish, thinks its a tax on foreigners as most of the pools here are owned by foreigners or Turks from Istanbul (also foreigners in the villagers eyes) Dont think they would get away with that in the UK.

Hoops man. The Belediye claim its a water charge. If you have a pool all water that you use,not just to fill the pool,is charged at 1.50YTL per ton. If you dont have a pool,all water is charged at 50 Kurus per ton.

Hi folks, sorry to drag this one out, but does anyone know the situation if you have your own well? We're having a villa built in Uzumulu, hopefully ready for next summer and are considering this option. Cost quoted seems reasonable and could save in the long run if no additional charges. At the rates quoted it might be better to reduce the size of the planned pool or do without one altogether (not a favoured option!). Any comments welcome
Seasons greetings
Nicko
