New water meter...unexpected visitors?
We had a compulsory water meter fitted a few weeks ago . A couple of guys called today (I was at work), said they were from Southern water and they were quite insistent that they arrange an appointment with the wife and me in a few weeks time to "go through how we could save water". Wife stated a few times that we weren't…

Water leak in rented house
When I got home tonight I found a note from my water supplier saying they read my meter and suspect there is a leak because of how large the usage is. They are right :( . Over the last six months, the volume of water used is getting on for 5 times what is usually is (192 m^3 rather than 43 m^3). There have been no reasons…

Southern Water - getting ON to a Water meter
Myself and my fiance recently moved house - from a rented property with a water meter. We have moved to a house we own, and were told at the time of moving that we'd be going straight onto a meter as the new property already had one installed.

United Utilities standing charge
I have a water meter. I'm a single person who works full time and I tend not to waste water so I use very little - 2 cubic meters per month. Everyone with United Utilities pays a standing charge of £10 per month no matter how little or how much water you use. Surely by using so little water each month the standing charge…
