Hi, we recently had an astronomical water usage of 230 M3 in 20 days, which is about 11000 litres a day and we weren't even in the house. A very minor leak was found but.... This plus the current water situation led us to focus on water consumption quite a lot.

Our latest Agbar bill showed 14 M3 when we were only there for 2 weeks religiously trying to obey all current advice. We thought that pretty good until we compared with our UK usage which is around 80 M3 for 6 months which includes garden watering/baths/ someone who thinks 20 mins is OK for a shower, the usual extravagance.

Agbar claim their meter is sound, and there is no visible evidence of huge amounts of water leaking within the house or garden. Has anyone had issues with Agbar meters?

Unfortunately, we are in Calonge which is on Agbar's to-do list for Smart water meters 

So first question is: Is a M3 standard across UK and Spain?? - joke

Seriously, does anyone have an english translation of the various elements on an Agbar water bill? Specifically what is the Canon Aigua ACA, which seems to make up a large % of the bill   

Many thanks

Hi, until today we used telsat dish and box (Phoenix HD mini) in our house in Cabanyes. This has not worked since we arrived last week (we got channel names but "no signal" message) , and we finally got round to going into the shop in Platja, only to be told the relevant satellite has a potentially terminal problem.

Does anyone have a suggestion of an alternative solution, which hopefully does not require annual subscriptions as we don't really watch enough to be worth paying for.

Many thanks

We are currently customer from Gral. Aguas Barcelona and had a bad surprise with the water bill for the year .

I was wondering if there are other suppliers of water and if yes if it is possible to compare prices ?

Thanks

Hello, Could anyone recommend a place near Calonge where I could rent tools such as wet saw for tile cutting , air compressor, spray paint gun, sawzall, and the like. Thank you.

Need names and phone numbers or emails of recommended electricians and also plumbers who work in Sant Feliu de Guixols. We are buying an apartment and since a bank owns it, the water, electricity, gas, and wifi have been disconnected. We need an electrician to come and check the apartment once the electricity has been turned on. We need a plumber to come and check to ensure there are no problems with the water line to the apartment. We need also somebody to check the gas line to the apartment. If somebody can respond with this information we will be very grateful. Thank you.

Does anyone have any up to date information on when the bodega at Cabanyes is going to open?

Hi, we have a property in Calonge which is sometimes rented out. We need to get access to the Cl@ve system. We have the NIE, but need either the NIE support number, which isn't on the NIE document we have, or a Cl@ve PIN, which it looks like you can't get without the NIE support no. Anyone have any idea how this works? Do we need to present face to face, and if so, where? Many thanks. Rick

Hi, does anyone know of someone local to Calonge who can upcycle some old furniture by painting it? I’m looking to have a small cupboard painted in chalk paint in the “shabby chic” style and would welcome any info as to anyone who does this professionally.
