Hi,

Phoned Thames Water, they said they are entitled to put a Water Meter on any time they like, it's for monitoring purposes not for billing. :mad:

I'm still cross, should I seek legal advice?

Hello Everyone. :hello: :hello:

Been awol, and damn, the house shows it.

So this is a quick :wave: at everyone, and putting my head round the door as a statement of intent. :whistle:

Just going to pick up a list for later ~~~~BRB~~~~~~

sad_dog_lady

ok you mentioned you have two disabled adults in the house in your post, me too, so if this happend to me id write to ofwat and send copy of letter to water company. stating you were not consulted, your property is your own, and that uk gov states it is not mandatory to have water meters fitted in older properties. i'd also state that you want to be considered for their social tarriff... if they feel the need to bill you. photocopy some proof like registerd disabled card from council and enclose to show you are genuine.
