Relocation water meter

Yorkshire Water allowed my plumber to move mine as part of our renovation. They charge a small fee to perform an inspection after the work is completed.
Total cost was under £300, nowhere near 000’s.0 -

Yorkshire Water, where I live, seem a bit more relaxed regarding moving a meter than other Water Authorities who are ultimately responsible for enforcing any regulations. Indeed the extract from the Regs below don't mention moving a meter just interfering with it's correct operation.175Offence of tampering with meter.
(1)If any person—
(a)so interferes with a meter used by any relevant undertaker [water supply licensee or sewerage licensee] in determining the amount of any charges fixed in relation to any premises as intentionally or recklessly to prevent the meter from showing, or from accurately showing, the volume of water supplied to, or of effluent discharged from, those premises; or
(b)carries out any works which he knows are likely to affect the operation of such a meter or which require the disconnection of such a meter,
he shall be guilty of an offence and liable, on summary conviction, to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale.
Sorry I can't think of anything profound, clever or witty to write here.0
