If we believe what the government / scientists are telling us with regards to global warming & the melting ice caps there is in fact more water available now than ever!

Yes, but its salt water. And a desalinization system is very,very expensive.

at least with salt water human consumption would drop which would reduce your bills

The volume of water in the hydrological system is finite. The melting of the ice caps is a fact. Global warming is causing a shift in our climate zone with weather becoming more like the Med, with higher rainfall in winter. So in summer water will be less plentiful, with extremes of temperature more common.

The melting of the icecap will raise sea levels and we are more likely to suffer floods and loss of coastal land as a result.

i just converted a 3 bed house into two 1 bed flats and was forced to install and pay for 2 new metered supplies and pay for the priviledge of them removing the existing supply
southern water justification for the charges was that the 22mm pipe that supplied the 3 bed house was not suffficient to supply a 1 bed flat and both flats needed a 25mm supply
Does this mean that after 1 year i can have them both put back to unmetered supplies and charge them for the priviledge ?
