Info needed



Any one know if its possible to get a local plumber to do all the pipe work from your tank to the meter box and then just get the water company to fit the meter and connection.



Reading on this site it seems to be around 1500ytl for water company to do it but around 300ytl for the meter.



We are in the Iskele area.

Yes Girne charged around 1650 tl but that was for the pay-as-you-go meter they did not give us a choice though

"UNFAIR" "NO ONE" Words that should have been listened to years ago, but that meant having to put the brain in gear before the mouth, a common occurence on here all too often :(

WOW they are just like any government in the world, the ones who have it pay for it , The UK is no differant, The governmnet is now asking me to pay up front for the forthcoming tax year they haver sent me a demand for a figure they have calculated on last years earning which I have paid

So dont think its just TRNC

yorgozlu, philnles



Are the prices you quote for an initial metre fitting?



About 4 years ago our metre seized and Girne Belediye fitting one for 35tl.

Just paid 1,622 TL to Girne authority. Have a card and buy credit at the main car park 50TL = 26 tonne.

Once credit used, water stops, so back to the car park, no meter reading necessary.

Msg 13, Misunderstood. We are nearly there for water connection which will be under Girne, please could you tell me, do you still pay the 30tl or thereabouts each month as well as pay as you go credit as you mentioned? I have read before that there is monthly water rates where as you get 10 tonnes each month? Thanks, Mrs Snakes.
