    ...even though most other properties in the street are without meters? Makes it kind of unfair!


    Why unfair?


    Every property built since April 1990 has a meter*


    Every property that has had new occupants since 1990 could/should have had a meter fitted - but in many cases the water company doesn't bother.



    Every property that has had improvements, that would have changed the Rateable Value, should have got a meter.


    Millions of households built pre 1990 have had a meter compulsorily fitted.



    Your friend's property should have had a meter fitted many years ago. The other houses in the street have probably not been converted to flats and then back to a single residence.


    So unfair? Really?


    * A tiny amount of exceptions.

    Not all properties benefit from a meter.
