Assessed charge.

8928

I am with United  Utilities  with my water. I reside in a one bedroom flat. I am not allowed a water meter. Can I get a assessed charge. I live on my own.  Can anyone please respond to this question please?

Not allowed? Says who? If the water company - then yes you can have an assessed charged.

Welcome to the forum.

What do you mean by 'not allowed a water meter'?

It is only if a water meter cannot be fitted by the water company, will you be allowed an assessed charge. This often happens in flats as it is impractical to fit a meter.

However if the flat is rented and the landlord simply doesn't want a meter - then you will not offered an assessed charge.

Putting a 'no meter change' clause in a TA may not be enforceable: the OP needs to clarify the situation. 
If a meter cannot be physically fitted, then, even if the LL has 'banned' it (though why would they?), the OP should apply anyway and can then go to assessed billing.
