We can request one in Scotland if needed. No-one I know has one. As far as I know we pay our water through council tax.
Scottish Water is owned by the Scottish parliament, hasn’t been allocated any funding to install meters. A spokesperson for Scottish Water said that the company doesn't hold any evidence that“proves the installation of meters encourages lower than normal usage of water”.
