We pay our water by DD to Lagoa Camara. In theory it is simple. you go to your bank and tell them what you want to do, they complete a form and you then take it along to the correct office at the Camara. However we repeated this process three times before the actual DD took effect - it took us a year to achieve! Don't know if we were just unlucky?

Now it is working the DD goes out every two months but is for a variable amount. You get a bill telling you the amount that will be taken, a couple of weeks before the money goes out. (I had a query related to this on a thread further down this page).

Good luck :)
