Church water bills go through the roof!
Changes in water charging structures in a number of regions mean that churches are charged on the same scale as businesses, leading to large (for example, 1300%) increases in annual water bills.
Water Companies are starting to charge Churches for the amount of area (i.e. roofs and car parks) that will collect rainwater and discharge it into the sewer network. This will effectively raise most churches’ water bills by hundreds or thousands of pounds.
People wishing to petition the Prime Minister to instruct water companies to return to charging churches as charities rather than as business premises can do so at: http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/ChurchWaterBills.
