Water meter confusion

I applied to United Utilities for the WaterSure scheme in October and was informed that I was eligible. (And I was also told that my eligibility would be back-dated to June 2014).

Hi We got out first bill since becoming metered this week (obligatory now in east Kent.) Despite using less than the average person (223 litres per day for two of us, where southern water says the average is 150 per person) it seems we will now be paying 70 pounds more than we used to per year.

We had a water meter fitted around March 2014 when southern water said everyone now has to be on a metered supply in East Kent. When first installed we were told our water cost would be around…
