We are looking to buy a new kitchen soon and also change the layout of the whole kitchen area. Is it possible to relocate the Water Meter to a new area of the kitchen ? Can a regular plumber do this, or does it have to be someone from the Utilities Co. ?

Water Meters, Hillingdon? Any way around it??
Hi, I have just bought a property in Hillingdon and like others on this site I have also the unfortune of being informed a water meter will be fitted to the property due to changes in ownership.

Highway drainage - Southern Water
last year I noticed a new heading on my water rates bill from Southern Water - Highway Drainage. As the amount was only 61p for a year I passed over it because even I am not that cheap! Well this year the same heading was £2.12 a 300+% increase! So I thought to myself, if there are 20 million households (guess) in the…

Why is our water industry set up as it is?
I’d like to ask if anyone's aware of plans to properly privatise the water supply and remove the existing regional monopolies. The purpose would be, IMO, to provide open, fair competition and pricing across the industry. I am NOT a “customer” of these companies – as a customer I can choose what to buy and from where to buy…
