Dawlish News

Water rates are at their highest in Dawlish, with many opting to switch to meters to try and reduce their bills, and others forking out over £1000 per year in rates. Whilst we are trying to conserve water, South West Water doesn't seem interested in fixing the leak in Westcliff Road.

This has angered residents of the street, in particular one lady who notified South West Water on August 21. They assured her it would be fixed by September 11, but this has not been the case.

The estimated loss of water since the leak is over 350,000 litres. A spokesman for South West Water said it has not been fixed as it is not a priority, but it will not affect customer's rates.

Well its good to know that South West Water are going to cover the cost of the waste (no doubt by increasing rates next year).
