Insurance covering water loss

Ah, they've done it on the cheap. Rather than fitting a smart meter they've fitted a smart adapter to an analogue meter.

It might be possible to read the dials but you're right, you'd need to read it at an angle from (in your photo) above the meter, near the blue stop tap.

Severn Trent did provide an entirely new meter set to zero with a new serial number which I blanked out. I now receive quarterly bills rather than half-yearly bills. The idea is that they will provide close to real-time data for customers, but this facility is still under development. NB: Yes, this is probably a modified analogue meter.

Otherwise, I have installed my own meter under the kitchen sink to measure softened water, i.e. all water except that used by the hose pipe.

More interestingly, I have deployed a LeakBot provided by my insurer. The Leakbot did identify leaks, and a Leakbot technician attended my home, free of charge, to investigate the source of the leaks. I am now leak-free.

All in all, it is worth monitoring and investigating leaks. Severn Trent is funding this to save water and avoid fines.
