Your flat was built later than mine and likely has a higher rateable value.
The different outcome for the calculations may well be due to my washing up
twice a day and a laundry load
three times a week.
When I calculated the second time, using shower instead of bath and dual flush wc instead of standard wc, the extra cost of a meter was marginal, but still more than I pay without a meter.
So I don't intend to ask for one - no point in paying more and needing to be careful with my usage.
It is highly unlikely that the use of the ancient method of using the rateable value will be changed, because the government want us all to have meters in the future, so a change to that is the only legislation likely in the future.
All you people in terraced houses - be thankful - and resist compulsory water meters.
