    Nothing to do with council houses or renting/buying, the water utility co. can compulsorily meter any newly occupied property if they wish, but not all do so.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
  • They may well be on the list for a roll out of their postal code and as such the water company are not going to fit one as soon as they moved in.
