Water meter

Has anyone received a letter regarding the installation of a water meter in MOD property?, are they compulsory? can you say "no"?.

The water company can compulsorily fit a meter if it wishes but it will not affect you personally as water and sewerage is included in your accommodation charge. In "normal" houses they can only enforce metered charging in certain circumstances.
Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.
Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.

Yes thanks. I was asking out of curiosity for a member of the family who has been notified of an impending installation.This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0

Probably because it is MoD property and different rules may have applied such as pointed out by molerat.Tiddlywinks wrote: »Why would they want to even try to refuse?
I fail to see the point of a water meter in a MQ to be honest. I would imagine that defence housing would pay an average price per quarter as they do with council tax making a meter redundantThis is a system account and does not represent a real person.

Your assumption appears entirely illogical to me.
Why would a water company answerable to it's owners/shareholders (unlike councils) waste money supplying and installing water meters if they will never be used?0 -
MOD sites are run by Severn Trent Water and they pay the bill on behalf of the MOD , this is the case for houses on camp anyway (when the camp isn't supplied by a bulk meter) and the tenant does not own the house, they like every house to be metered.

That's as maybe but the fact is that MQ rent includes a water element and water bills are not separately payable by the occupants.
Would they really send 400 separate bills for one MQ patch to DIO/MHS just for one MQ patch. If they just lump it all together in a single bill for that patch then what would be the point of meters as they are effectively using an averaging system per quarter?This is a system account and does not represent a real person.

Water supply is run by regional companies, so ST surely only supply in their region.
Never seen a ST van, let alone a ST reservoir, in Yorkshire or Essex, for example.0
