I don't get this and when something's so glaringly obvious I always wonder if it's me just being thick.

Surely, if they put in water meters it won't actually reduce the water use - I know it wouldn't actually stop me from having a shower every morning and a cup of coffee with my lunch. I certainly wouldn't switch the radiators off to use less. So how exactly will that help at all? If they were saying that they were unprofitable then yes put in meters but don't hide behind a silly excuse that meters will cure the problem of a water shortage.

If we are running out of water - dig out more reservoirs - surely that's logical?
