bloody low water bill!
« on: June 17, 2009, 19:58:08 PM »
Apologies for raising this in Uzumlu forum too but it is Uzumlu water!

Just received my first water bill

270cu m
Total bill....28.54 lira!
I assume this is a mistake as I filled the pool twice and was expecting a bill of about 300 lira

270 cu m should cost you around 432 lira!!   You have been charged for around 18 cu m!!!  I would pay it as soon as you can (can't pay until the date on the bill, July)  before they realise the mistake.  Good luck!!

I see, it's about right in the other topic you started and way too cheap in this one. Shall I delete this one for you?

Its obviously an error on the bill which I am sure they will eventually catch on to.

We are not in uzumlu,but in Calis. However it was my understanding that water is charged at 1tl per cubic metre,plus a small service charge.That should make your bill 270 tl plus the service charge.But uzumlu may be dif!good luck

Uzumlu is different, annoyingly so.  If you have a pool it is 1.5tl for a cubic metre plus a local tax for garbage collection plus kdv, this works out roughly at 1.79tl per cubic metre.  If you do not have a pool it is 1tl plus taxes.
Why I said annoyingly is that in Calis you are not charged extra if you have a pool and the water comes from.........................Uzumlu!

A non pool owner here has the same view but flushes their toilet with cheaper water though :(
