Just a quick tip, if you are filling up a reasonably sized Pool this Weekend or Summer Holidays (such as this deal I posted) then you may want to contact your Water Board and ask them for their Sewage Discharge Discount!
Water Bills consist of the cost of the water supply and usage to your property, as well as the use of the sewerage system. In most cases in an average household, water that is used generally ends up down the drain and in the sewers, hence the charge. In the case of Pools, the water doesn't return to the sewers, so the Water Board knock off that charge, making it much cheaper to fill the pool!
Anglian Water now charge me £1 per Cubic Meter of water, which is equivalent to 1000 Litres. That means my pool (posted in this deall) costs around £4 to fill, after the discount! Bargain!
You simply need to contact the Water Board and ask them for their Sewage Discharge Allowance to be applied to your account as you are filling in a pool, and they will ask you to take a meter reading immediately before filling the pool, and immediately after. Submit the readings and they do the rest!
Sit back and enjoy Weekend!

The title makes it sound very unappealing ... like a pool full of 'sewerage discharge' :laughing:

Not a complaint I'm making, I got a pool knowing I had to pay to fill it with water, I just posted this as a lot of people will be filling them up this weekend and summer holidays, and as this is HUKD, we all love a bargain so passing on the info!

Just copy the MOD in on an order of 5 gallons of peroxide and you'll get waterboarded for free.

It's a 10% discount so you saved about 45p on the cost of filling your pool, less the cost of the phone call, if you pay per call. Hardly the deal of the century and there's likely to be water shortages if we have more record weather this year.
