in Water bills
My parents moved into a council bungalow in november same area as me and never had mter fitted and no mention of it?

How come as I thought all new renters had one fitted?

    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.
