In practice, a water company can install a water meter and charge on that basis, if the household customer:
- uses an automatic watering device (such as a garden sprinkler);
- automatically fills a swimming pool or pond;
- has a large bath;
- uses a reverse osmosis softening unit;
- has a power shower;
- is the new occupier of a property (provided an unmetered bill has not already been sent to that occupier); or
- lives in an area which has been determined by the Secretary of State to be an area of serious water stress and subject to a metering programme as part of a plan to maintain secure water supplies.

I think they are more likely to install it themselves, rather than force you to install it!
If it sticks, force it.
If it breaks, well it wasn't working right anyway.3
