Water Charges........

[phil the shed]

Grapes if you have an allotment are you a council or self managed society member


and

what is your annual charge or share for the water bill.

i've been tasked with sourcing costs to enable us to set a fee for new plot lets by the
FRIENDS OF MACKWORTH ALLOTMENTS AND COMMUNITY GARDEN.
Got involved about 2 years ago in the original requests to council for plots have secured some old space with a £50000 grant for the works from community spaces.
now we have formed a friends of group and at a meeting last week i went to the toilet and when i came back they said "say yes phil" i said yes and found i am now vice chair of the society.....no more toilet breaks for me..lol

We are metered, non-council, and each pay £8 a year (I don't know how many plots we have though... about 40?)

No water. No fee.

ETA: next time, hold it in!

I'm not a member yet, our local allotment is council run, water is provided, no extra charge, it's included in the rental ( £5 per rod per year) all 5 rod plots.

Now you've got me wondering what the 'edit' was?

[The Large One]

we pay £20 per plot, apparently according to our site rep £4 of this is water charge we have 62 plots

[SarzWix]

No water provided, therefore no charge. We all just collect rainwater, and make do.

[Alison]

Same as SarzWiz, all our water is free from above . Plots gone up slightly this year to (I think) £22 per full sized plot.

[ladylottie]

We share one water tap between two plots.

Don't know what the exact water charge is, but I pay £9 per year for a half plot and that includes water charges and membership of the allotment association.

Council allotment - water supplied to troughs around the site for watering can use only. No taps - hosepipes and pumps are banned. This works well and is not abused. (Apart from one individual who apparently laid a mains supply in to his site when the Council was originally putting the water supply in!!)

[jackie j]

Water included in the cost of rent of £18 per half plot, 53 plots on our site but the rent is the same on all the sites in the area.
