Non return to sewer claim form
for domestic metered customers
The sewerage volumetric charge assumes that on average, 5 per cent of the metered water supplied to customers is not returned to a
public sewer. This applies to all domestic customers and is already reected in the sewerage charge. It covers things like evaporation
from cooking, cleaning, car washing, garden watering - basically any activity which results in some of the water supplied to your home
not returning to the public sewer.
If you have a metered water supply and can demonstrate that more than 5 per cent of the water supplied to your home through
your water meter is not returned to a public sewer on a regular basis, please complete this form and return it to
Customer Service Centre, PO Box 50, Warrington WA55 1AQ.
When we have received your application form, we will assess your claim and make a decision based on the details you have provided.
We will try to make a decision within 10 working days. We may need to visit your home to verify your claim. If this is necessary, we will
contact you to make an appointment, and the time to process your application will be longer.
Important - please read the notes at the bottom of page 2 before completing the form and ensure all sections are completed fully.
