A subject of some contention really.
Whilst a water meter in some circumstances will save you money, the problem you face is you cant have it removed.
Example
My friend who owns his own home had a water meter fitted some years ago, and it saved him lots of money as it was just him.
He then married a women that had 2 teenage children and they all moved into his house, now wife and kids were pretty much living in the bathroom, and his water bill was huge, infact far more than I pay with a similar household but im not on a meter.
So he requests that the meter be removed, and it was refused !
Apparently the Government want every one to eventually have a water meter fitted and once fitted it cant be removed.
Now im unsure if ever water company is like that but his is
