Re-Filling Swimming Pools

This harks back to a thread a couple of months ago about the cheapest and most efficient ways of re-filling swimming pools following maintenance.

In the end I bit the bullet and re-filled our 8X4X1.5M pool from the mains metered water. My bill is now in, and the cost was 130 euros.
Far cheaper than tankering or the Bomberios, who quoted 280 euros.
It is also a faclicy that using this much water puts you on a higher years tarif.
The tarif is set freshly every month.

We are waiting to hear what our re-fill will be, but at least it will be less than 130 euro. We are still waiting for the water tariff to go onto residential. Its already taken about 6 weeks. Crazy! Guess they want people to think it takes a lot of work. Reckon they must go through all the employees at the town hall before someone rubber stamps it. No idea if they will automatically tell us that the water we have been paying less than 20 euro a month for should have been several times more, or we will be lucky and get away with that and only start paying the proper amount when they finally rubber stamp it.

I would, for a small monetary re-imbursement or a visit to your infamous shower facility, forget I'd heard that confession. :|

Growing mint doesn't use a lot of water and I'm quite partial to a nice Mojito. :lol: :lol:
