Just been ınformed by Çıftlık Belediye that we can now pay our water bılls. For my area the offıce ıs ın the road opposıte the new A101 passed the Law courts. You need a meter readıng and Abone Number or an old bıll. Shall try and pay mıne tomorrow.
-
I tried yesterday at Fethiye and i still could not pay. :( They just don't won't our money YET...
-
In the time honoured British tradition.
"How much?"
I know the Belediye have been fighting the proposed outrageous increases that Muğla wanted to impose quadrupling the cost of water!
-
My wife was told by some one at the Belediye's office that the price increase was aimed at high usage such as hotels and so on.The higher price would only come in to play if you use huge amounts of water far more than a normal household would use.Has anyone else heard this.
-
Paid my bill from Mar/Apr at the new office today.Staff were a bit slow as still in training mode, but the bill had no intrest added to it.Easier location for us rather than Gunlukbasi or Fethiye.Its opposite where the Turkish Delight shop used to be.
-
And has ıt gone up ?
-
Paul - did you take your reading and are you saying there is now a payment place opposite old Turkish Delight now?
-
No it hadnt gone up as it was my last bill before payment was suspended in April.I didnt take a reading just my bill, and yes Ian there is a new payment office there which has opened this week. :)
-
Thanks - will try with a reading tomorrow?
-
Went to this payment office at 9.15am and although very pleasant and only spoke Turkish - they would not accept my self reading at the moment :-(
-
Went today and they are only accepting old/outstanding bills for payment but the system is very slow. Gave up after 15 mins. They will be reading all meters in the next 2 weeks (inshallah). The office is opposite A101 in the building where the wood furniture shop used to be.
-
Doğan said he has read in one of the local Turkish papers that water is going up to about 1.5₺
-
yes our meters have been read today in Dalyan - domestic 1.5 lira a unit, but if you are not down as 'mesken' but 'insaat' - 5 lira a unit!
-
Meskan is house - insaat means construction. Would be good to know the business rate too!
I have just copied and pasted this off another forum for your information.
Water bills. There are 4 offices where you can pay.
1 Karaçullah
2 Ölüdeniz
3 Fethiye
4 opposite A101 on the Road from Çaliş to Fethiye.
They were informed you will soon be able to pay at your bank as well. System still slow.
-
Posted on the FB page "Uzumlu Village News" today;
"Had our water meter read this morning, @ 1.5 lira per cu m, plus tax"
Confirms Nichola's post regarding cost. Meter readers are now out doing the rounds.
-
Eric is it still the same rip off arrangement- X3 if you have a pool?
-
Nope, everyone now pays 1.5 TL whether they have a pool or not. So for you and me no change. For the villagers a three fold increase.
-
So can anyone co :)nfirm if we can pay our water bills now by taking the meter reading. Also, where is the payment office, as I am no longer sure. I know it was above the belediye in Fethiye, but even with reading all the threads, I am confused. Hope you can help! :)
-
We got our first new water bill on Wednesday.
-
Can you still pay in Gunlukbashi.
-
No Lance your offıce ıs now opposıte the A101 on Mustafa Kemel Bulvarı passed the Law courts goıng towards Fethiye.
-
I cant place the A101 not been there for a while do you mean on the traffic lights past B.P.near new rest and chicken shop.derrr. ;)
-
Thats the one Lance, opposite where the Turkish Delight factory used to be.
-
Still not read ours yet?? :( :(
-
Nor ours, we're just off BMB
-
Only read ours ın Cıftlık 10 days ago so they wıll be wıth you soon.
-

Is that a promise?
-
Yes lol.
-
My apartment is just at the back of Calis Kipa and i had my bill last week but i wish i hadn't!!! No living permission meant 5Tl / unit plus tax which is 8%. I was reliably informed in the office that the cost on the next bill will be 4Tl but it will not drop any further. For those who have living permission the cost will be 2Tl / unit plus tax
-
Paid our water bill at the new office behind the main post office in fethiye. Same cashier as in the council office last year
-
Not read ours in Gunlukbasi yet,
-
Quackers could you tell me where about in Ciftlik you are as we are up behind the school and unless I have missed them ours has not been read and am quite concerned as the bill will just keep mounting up.
-

Yer come on Quackers, you also promised me that they would read my meter soon and they haven't, wots happening here??? ;) ;D ;D ;D
-
I am not ın the vıllage (ciftlıkkoy) I am ın Cıftlık / Koca Calıs area. One of the people ın Ciftlıkkoy saıd they had theır meter read last week.If you are worrıed take and old bıll and a meter readıng and go and ask them ıf you can pay. They may have read your meter and the bıll blown away or ıf you have a dog loose they wont enter your property.
-
Wrong Cıflıkkoy water meters not read yet. I am goıng to pay my neıghbours one today so wıll ask whats hapenıng.
-
The office says you can take your meter number (on your old bill)or take an old bill and your meter reading and you can pay for your water. I presume this relates to all areas and offices although I was enquiring at my local office.
-
Ours is till on a DD at the bank, just wondering if / when it does get read if it will still be a valid DD or if we'll have to cancel one and start another - anybody know?
-
Lee, it won't be as your old DD was in favour of Fethiye, you will have to take your new account number to the bank and set up a new DD in favour of Mugla
-
Lee, it won't be as your old DD was in favour of Fethiye, you will have to take your new account number to the bank and set up a new DD in favour of Mugla
Thanks Rimms. Oops better get online then and cancel the old one durr
-
Paid our bill yesterday at the new office opposite the BP garage.
Read our meter took the last official reading with us and then met up with all of the staff from the Ciftlik office who are now working in there.
No problem.
-
There you go the system works. I dont see any problems ın lıfe just opportunıtıes to put thıngs rıght.
-
The staff in that office must be bemused by all of the Brits rushing in to pay before they have received a bill?
-
Yes I'm hanging on, till I get a bill,they might forget about it,ha ha
-
has any one heard you have to pay 70YTL because it is a new water company?
-
Thats not true! My new bill from Mugla was 74 TL and that was for just over 4 months.The only changes were that you are now charged 1.50 lira a unit for your water and 50 kurus a unit for waste water.
-
Last week I had to pay 74TL for a tax that came out a couple of months ago, this seems to agree with Puma's post.
when I asked what tax this was, the guy said he didn't know. not part of his job.
-
Not true. We paid our water bill a couple of weeks back and there was no additional fee/tax.
-
just got mıne 260tl tax 20tl robbıng sods they are. >:(
-
Took our meter number to the office behind the PTT - the lady made a phone call and we duly paid our water bill for the apartment.
At the same time, we paid our communal water for the pool (one of our neighbours has it on their meter). I thought that maybe they had made a mistake at the bill came out at 440 lira (180 cubic mtrs). I think that someone did not pay the water last year, which might explain the cubic mtrs, but even so the bill was 3x more than we would normally have paid for 1 season. The lady did ask if it was for a pool. 91.50 lira was for the waste water (atiksu) - a bit of a con, when most of the water went in the pool and not down the toilet : :)
-
Yesterday was the first time I have cheered when I received, at last, a bill. Yes , as predicted by some, my water bill has come at last. I have now put it behind the clock on the mantelpiece for payment at some later date that suits! ;)
-
Had meter reading last week 220 lira for seven months consumption. 2lira a unit used.
-
As I reported in another thread yesterday our water bill finally arrived, and our water worked out at 1.50tl a tonne.
-
In case anyone isn't aware it is possible to pay your water bill at (I presume any) Fatura. Living in Ciftlik and with mobility problems and no private transport, paying at the new office in Calis was a pain in the fundament. So much easier to be able to get off at the dolmus station, pay at the Fatura opposite without having to trek into the centre or catch another dolmus into Calis.
-
I have just paid my water bill on line with Mugla Buyuksehir.
It seems we we were charged 1.5 TRY for each cubic metre but there were several other items on the bill; amongst them ATIK Su which I think is waste water even though we are on a septic tank, there was CTV and KDV the latter I know is VAT by any other name, there also minor fines for being late with the payment.
Link used https://odeme.muski.gov.tr/
Then debt link on the right (if you use chrome it automatically translatesthe tabs on the right)
Then tick subscribe with registration no
Then put in the tin label number on your water meter.
Our bill came up and in the midst of a table listing our current bill and the earlier one which we were late in paying was a line about "do you want to hire a four wheel truck". I ignored this I suppose it could be for those wanting to hire a tanker e.g. to fill a pool.
Paying the bill, it kept failing with a Garanti debit card but worked first time with a credit card (UK based CC).
Once paid they provide a PDF for each bill/receipt to print.
A less painful way of doing it than queuing although DD would be even better.
-
Excellent - thanks for that - tried it and it worked even though I have no debt at the moment :)
Hopefully Council Tax will come back on line again which will make life much easier as you say no queuing and waiting ;D
-
Great thanks, just paid my bill using my credit card and printed a PDF receipt, couldn't get the emailed receipt to work but just gone back into my account and debt is clear.
-
We popped into the office earlier to pay our water bill and were in and out in less than 10 minutes.
Just get the ticket out of the machine as you go in and wait for number on it to come up on the screen and then go and pay couldn't be easier.
-
ATIK Su ıs waste water from your washıng machıne ,shower etc. If you dıd not have a septık tank they would also charge for removal of sewerage wıth a seperate charge on your bill.
-
Is there a number on an old water bill? I put in the number next to seri E Sira no. and it came up with a bill:
GÖKÇEBEL DISTRICT
Street - DiRMiL SOK.
Pretty sure this isn't us on Saglik Sitesi
-
dont go to pay on a monday morning,waited 45minutes yesterday
-
Stoop, I selected Borç Ödeme then the Abone optıon, then scrolled down to find Ciftlik and then used the Abone 4 dıgit number before the slash from my last bill, and it was my account!
-
i waited 40 mins last thursday. ;)
-
When I went to pay my water in October my meter had been registered to someone else it took about three trips and paying 120tl to get it sorted I even had to go in to the office with pictures of my meter
-
Found it thanks. I thought it was 36 ytl which seems fair but when I went to complete it quoted £36 not YTL. However on completion it has taken just short of £10 from my account - which is £36 ytl :)
Excellent - thanks.
-
Stoop, the new Lira symbol looks similar to the pound sign, you may have mistaken it.
-
Might be right there Gary. However I went for it and it was in lira.
-
Finansbank today have taken details from my water bill and are now able to start paying it for me again with a direct debit.
-
Just got my new water bill and the rate has gone up to 2tl if you are on Meskan rate.
-
Yes the bill is up to 2tl for us too. But it looks like a list of banks that can now take D/Ds printed on the bill.
As I posted earlier Finansbank confirmed they can pay mine again.
-
Any one know if Yapi credi bank allows you to pay water by DD please
-
Says ıts one of the banks that does do DD on the bottom of the bıll.
-
Hi is Garanti bank on the list, thanks.
-
The lıst reads:- Vakif ,Yapı, Halk, Aktıf, Fınans, TEB,Tekstıl and Zıraat.
-
Garanti is paying ours
-
Thank you
-
Third water bill since the changeover to Mugla landed today, only about five weeks after the last one. Water 2TL with Waste Water charged at 9TL
-
What do they class as waste water Rimms?
-
It's the water that goes down the drain or the toilet, they don't actually meter this but use a percentage of the overall water used in your property.
-
Thanks. I thought that but wanted to double check
-
You are never in long enough to use any water...
-
It's the automatic plant watering system Anne
-
Third water bill since the changeover to Mugla landed today, only about five weeks after the last one. Water 2TL with Waste Water charged at 9TL
Water now charged at 2tl a unit and waste water now at 1tl a unit up from the previous 50 kuros a unit.
