Not good news, some
Water Companies are ignoring churches charitable status and starting to charge
churches commercial water rates – please see some related articles and
the opportunity to sign the online government petition below. Please
circulate.

As some of you
may be aware, the Water Companies are ignoring churches charitable status
and 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 if not thousands of pounds.
There is an
online government petition that you can register on, please register and
pass this email onto anyone else you think will sign
it.............. the petition needs at least 15,000 to be noticed
and at present stands at less than 3,000 !!!!
