Double water bill

Why unfair?


Every property built since April 1990 has a meter*


Every property that has had new occupants since 1990 could/should have had a meter fitted - but in many cases the water company doesn't bother.



Every property that has had improvements, that would have changed the Rateable Value, should have got a meter.


Millions of households built pre 1990 have had a meter compulsorily fitted.



Your friend's property should have had a meter fitted many years ago. The other houses in the street have probably not been converted to flats and then back to a single residence.


So unfair? Really?


* A tiny amount of exceptions.

Here is a chart of my water bills over a 30 year period. Can you see what happened when I had a meter installed? What are you waiting for?
