Martin Lewis ~ Water It costs more than you think to spend a penny. Water (and sewerage) bills are the

By Martin Lewis country’s forgotten @moneysavingexpert utility - the average cost is set to rise to £390 and many pay substantially more. Yet it is possible for many to save £100s on this with just five minutes’ work.

From 1 April, water bills in England and Wales go up by an average 1%. Yet dig in the figures and some will have bigger hikes, like customers of Dee Valley who face 5%.

Water is a funny industry. It is privatised, but there’s no competition. You can’t switch supplier – although there is a discussion for this to happen, with an outcome later this year. Instead, to save, it’s all about what works for you.

1) Does your home have more or the same number of bedrooms than people?

If yes and you’re in England and Wales, then you should definitely check out whether you can save by switching to a free water meter. In Scotland, there’s a fee, which usually means it’s not worth it, and in Northern Ireland there’s no need for a meter as water is free anyway.

That’s because water bills are based on rates – roughly the value of your house from way back in 1989. The bigger your house, the more you pay, but the fewer people in it, the less you use. So switching from a bill based on your house value to a meter that measures your usage is worthwhile for those with spare rooms.

To find out exactly if you’ll save by switching to a meter, use the calculator at www.ccwater.org.uk, which assesses your usage such as how often you use the dishwasher, washing machine, shower or tub.

Just keep an eye on your bills to check your saving, and if not you can usually switch back after 12 months or a month after your second

bill, whichever is later – check with your water firm before you sign up.

However, there are some who have been forced to get a meter – in which case you don’t have a right to switch back.

2) Is it worth switching?

Typically, two people in a four-bed Thames Water home paying £450 could save £150 every year by switching to a meter.

Some save even more, as Jeannie tweeted me: “@MartinsLewis changed to a water meter 1 year ago following your advice. Saved £492 in one year, thanks.”

And this from Suzanne: “@MartinsLewis I have saved £240/year installing water meter. Ta!” Yet water rates mean you know exactly what you’ll pay, regardless of usage. So, if the saving’s less than 5%, think carefully before switching.

3) What if you’re not allowed a meter?

Water companies can argue it is ‘justifiably impractical’, e.g., in a tall flats block with shared water pipes. If this happens, and you think a meter would save, ask how much your ‘assessed charge bill’, which is based on how many live in your flat and water usage, is. Better still, if that happens, you can choose whether to pay this or the rates – so go for whichever is cheaper.

4) Do you have a soakaway?

If you live in a small town or village and have a ''soakaway'', i.e. a pit of gravel that collects surface rainwater, you'll send less water through the sewers and should ask for money deducted from your bill. This is usually between £20£50/year and can be claimed whether you're on a meter or not.

5) Cut your water use.

For those on a water meter, saving water means saving cash. But cutting water use also helps the environment and saves others money too – paying to heat water squirts away £140 of a typical annual energy bill. So these tips can be useful even if you’re on a rateable bill.

Dales Directories Local services Grab water savings freebies worth up to £30. Lots of gizmos can help douse your bill.

Whether on a water meter or not, you can get freebies from water companies that’ll help use less water – check their website or call them.

These can include aerated shower heads, which pump air with the shower to make it feel high pressure but uses less water, or bath buoys; a toy you can put in the bath to use less water. For a bigger list of who does what go to www.mse.me/water.

If it’s yellow, let it mellow. If it’s brown, flush it down. I don’t really need to explain this one – I think you get it. I’ll be honest it’s not one I do, but many people do do (sorry). At the very least, if your loo has two buttons, try to only use the big flush when necessary.

Save your washing up for one wash.

Instead of washing up as you go, save it and do it in one go to minimise the amount of water used.

Steam your veggies. It’s healthier and tastier than boiling them and uses a lot less water too.

Load up the washing machine, but not the kettle. Wait until you've a full load before using your washing machine or dishwasher. Some new washing machines use fewer than seven litres of water for each kilogram of clothes, while modern dishwashers can use as little as 10 to 15 litres of water a cycle. But don’t fill the kettle if it’s just for one cuppa (big energy saver that too).

Bundle into the bath. Get up close and personal with your other half and share your bath. Or put the kids in together to save water.

Check your meter doesn’t turn when the water’s off. If it does, get leaks sorted pronto. See a handy guide from Anglian Water at http://tinyurl.com/h636wf6 and many firms offer free leakyloo stickers, which you put on the back of water devices and if they fall off you’ve a leak.

Derwent Valley Vets Ÿ We provide a friendly, caring service.

Ÿ All our nurses are fully qualified veterinary nurses

Ÿ Open til 9 pm Tuesdays & Thursdays.

Ÿ We have plenty off road car parking.

Ÿ Open 6 days a week

Ÿ Vets, Claire and Rebecka have over 25 years experience

Ÿ Modern surgery, with state of the art equipment The Boathouse 110 Dale Rd, Matlock DE4 3PP

Tel: 01629 55 666 email: enquiries@DerwentValleyVets.co.uk www.derwentvalleyvets.co.uk

Rebecka Bold and Claire Goodear, both experienced vets, have a lot to celebrate in 2016. In 2015 they purchased The Boathouse on Dale Road, Matlock, and plans were drawn up, and planning permission was granted for them to turn the old public house, into the veterinary surgery that they had both dreamed of.

Rebecka and Claire are colleagues and good friends with similar views on how a veterinary practice should be run. They have worked in many different practices over the years and have picked up some great ideas along the way.

They have many reasons for taking on this challenge.

They both live locally and are enthusiastic about providing a great service for local pets and owners.

“Our staff have multiple pets themselves and understand the importance of pets as part of the family. We would like to offer top quality care in a friendly surgery from people you know and trust” says Rebecka.

The surgery is due to open early July, and once open, they would like to invite you to come and say hello.

The new surgery boasts many great features such as state of the art equipment including digital xray, ultrasound and dental equipment, on site operating theatre, laboratory, large waiting room with separate dog and cat waiting areas and off street parking.

Although now a clean, light and modern surgery, Claire and Rebecka have taken care to preserve some of this historic building’s features. Do you recognise their reception desk from the old days?

Derwent Valley Vets plan to open 6 days a week and have two late night surgeries. They are a modern convenient surgery, using the latest innovations to make life better for you and your pets. They look forward to seeing you soon.

COMPUTER TIP What really scares me... ... is the type of ransomware infection (they hold your computer to ransom) which encrypts your data and once that happens you've lost it. Gone.

Forever. The idea is that you pay them a few hundred pounds to get your data back – if you trust them!!

So there are three areas of consideration... Don't let the infection in; If it gets in, have software which stops it; If it runs, how to recover?

Most important is the third item; how to recover and your ONLY option is to restore your data from backup. It's been said many times before but it's never been more important that you have a good backup system.

This is explored far more fully on the website.

Loving Your Home is the Key to Stress Free Living.

Do you wish that you could change your environment, especially the kitchen? Do you feel happy walking into your kitchen, or does it make you feel stressed? Do you believe that it will cost too much to replace, or maybe it’s just the thought of all the mess and upheaval that puts you off doing something about it!! Well, you’re wrong!

Locally based company, Shabby by Design provides a painting and redesign service from just a few hundred pounds, stress free in just a few days!

Shabby by Design can paint your cupboards, add trims, add coving, change the handles, replace wall cupboards with shelving… just to name a few of the tricks that Sera Preston has up her sleeve, to transform your living space into somewhere that you’ll love.

Sera is passionate about brightening up people’s lives as well as their kitchens. She

believes that the environment we live in is really important for our souls. Sera told me that “ People always think it’s going to cost a lot more than it does, we can transform someone’s kitchen from as little as £400 500, which for a lot of people is very achievable.”

It usually takes Sera about a week to redesign, and paint the average kitchen.

Generally, she’ll visit every morning over the week to apply undercoat/primer and a top coat of Farrow and Ball paint, so that when you return home in the evening the paint has had plenty of time to dry so you can get on and prepare the evening meal for the family with minimal disruption to your usual routine.

All paint used is applied using a variety of brushes to get the perfect professional finish that will bring you joy for many years to come.

For a no obligation quote contact Sera via email info@shabbybydesign.co.uk or mobile 07541 916 542.

Relive your classic memories by transferring your video to DVD Do you have any forgotten videos, camcorder reels or 8 mm film hidden away in your dusty old loft?

These are a record of the great time you’ve had in your life, so don’t lose them! They may be of a family wedding a childhood holiday, or of a loved one that is no longer around. Now you can keep your memories from fading by bringing them back to life by converting your old film to DVD. Matlock Film Copying and Printing Ltd is situated in the Ritz building at the bottom of Steep Turnpike,.

Steve Argent can convert your old videos and 8 mm film to a digital format. After doing his own extensive research Steve purchased his own inhouse Film Transfer Unit that was superior to many others in transferring film to digital format. Not only for the picture quality but he found it was the safest method for someone’s treasured film, as well as being economical so he could pass these savings onto his customers.

Basically the Film Transfer Unit that came from the USA treats your precious film very gently; as it goes through the developing process it takes a picture of

every single frame of film, so you get a lovely crisp image every time.

Steve says that “When some of our customers see these old films the reaction is absolutely unbelievable. They may be seeing themselves as a five year old at their own birthday party or seeing their parents that had passed away years ago; it’s really very emotional.”

So if you have any old video, camcorder cassettes, 8 mm and Super 8 reels hidden away in the loft or garage then please bring them down and get them converted. If you don’t act soon then they are likely to deteriorate. Video starts to deteriorate after about 10 years, 8 mm and Super 8 mm is around 40 years depending on how it’s stored.

Matlock Film Copying and Printing Ltd are the company that you trust with your precious memories.
