be read (blocked, dead or unreachable) and count nowhere. The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source for each breakdown it prices, in GBP (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences for one breakdown), so a page that gives figures for several breakdowns gives one for each and N counts 4 figures, never sentences; 13 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded. The fuller derivation this dataset is chartered to grow into (not yet what the figures above are; they are each source's own published figure as read): one row per sewerage undertaker per charge: the Mogden coefficients for trade effluent, the surface water and highway drainage rate by site-area band, the return-to-sewer assumption and the standing charge, each quoted from that undertaker's own scheme with its charging year; the derivation is what the SAME discharge costs across thirteen undertakers and how that has moved year on year - a comparison no undertaker makes and the regulator does not publish in one place", "embed": "
