I AGREE with D Hughes (Evening Press, Saturday, March 20), the water charges are daylight robbery already.

I live in a two bedroom flat, my bills for the coming year are sewerage from Yorkshire Water £129.90 and York Water £84.77.

I queried this and was told you pay more for flats and maisonettes than houses. The companies have until the year 2000 to make it fairer.

I want to know why I should pay more than someone with several bathrooms and toilets. Come on you water companies, let's have some fairness and some answers.
