    Exclamation Water bills - help needed ASAP

    hey
    my landlady has kindly decided to "terminate her consumership" from the water supplies department. so i have to switch it over to my name, which is fair enough but the online form asked me whether i wanted "domestic" supply or "flushing (1 flat)" and i can't find any info on the site about what the difference is?

    so if anyone could help me that'd be great, i have to do it by monday or the water will get turned off and i'll get charged a refixing fee.

    thankyou!

    I believe you should need both:

    Domestic = Tap Water
    Flushing = Toilet Water, AKA Seawater.

    Really. I'm not sure but I thought that domestic supply meant from the building's own water supply. I mean, a lot of buildings actually physically take a great big container of water up to their roof every day. Knock on a neighbours door or see the building management.

    What HKChigger said.

    I can't decide if bryant's trying to be funny or what, but you can safely ignore his post.

    I thought he was having a crack at the "Puritanical Prat' of the week award!

    They're giving out awards for that?
