compulsory water meters
Government orders water meters to be installed in millions more homes | the Daily Mail
More compulsory water meters!!! I thought I might well pay less if I have to have a meter ---- but NO I live alone, no dishwasher, 3 washing machine loads a week, one bath a day, wash up twice a day, dont leave the tap running whilst brushing and I find that Uswitch estimates that a water meter will cost me MORE ! Try the Uswitch and see Find out how you can be more water efficient on uSwitch.com |

Re: compulsory water meters
The daughter of a friend has not paid a penny for water rates for somewhere between 5 to 10 years. She point blank refuses to do so, stating that water is free and falls from the sky etc. All she has is repeated correspondence for unpaid bills.
Tempted to test my luck. |

Re: compulsory water meters
I thought you already needed to have planning permission if it went over a sewer pipe or manhole in your garden. When i talked to one of the united utilities people who came out to check the drains etc a neighbour has built a conservatory over the sewer pipe and he said if we'd known about that then it wouldnt have been built - mind you its their own fault if anything happens with the pipe underneath - then they'd have to dig it up - and it wouldnt be united utilites fault all they'd do would level it out and if it had to be knocked down then they wouldnt be rebuilding it. It was their fault in the first place for building it over the sewer pipe they knew that was under there.

Re: compulsory water meters
I once worked for a woman who said 'if you go for a wee dont flush the toilet' because of how much it costs being on a water meter. I still flushed though because I think its dirty to leave any waste in the toilet, whether its liquid or solid. Attracts vermin and all sorts of nastiness in my opinion (was an outdoor loo)
Can understand why people wouldn't want to be on a water meter though, but if you live in a house that doesnt have one I dont see why you cant refuse to have one fitted? |
Re: compulsory water meters
most water meters are just "flow meters" which work in either direction, all you need is a spanner to flip it around 180 degrees for 2/3rd's of any metering period , just make sure you use a similar thread sealant (tape or pipe dope) as the water company :D :D
