Welcome to the forum.
On change of occupant water companies can(and should) fit a meter - this was authorised in the Water Privatisation Act of Parliament - and you have no say in the matter(if you want water!!!)
Some companies didn't enforce that provision, other did. Now it seem that more companies are doing as they should, and fitting meters.0 -
Hi Mark and Glyn
What advice would you like ?
You are getting a meter and that is the end of that..Use less water and remember to read your meter once a month to start with is about the best I can come up with.There is a race of men that don't fit in; A race that can't stand still;
So they break the hearts of kith and kin, and roam the world at will.
