I think you can request a meter but not demand. Small technical difference. The water company has to do it if its reasonably practicable I found the wording in the water industry act. I remember a neighbour requested a meter from United utilities and they refused A water undertaker is not obliged to give effect to a measured charges notice if— (a)it is not reasonably practicable to fix charges in respect of the premises by reference to the volume of water supplied, or (b)to do so would involve the incurring by the undertaker of unreasonable expense I'm not sure how they define unreasonable expense. Seems a bit subjective . I know a meter used to cost a minimum of £99 in Manchester but that was some years ago. I think they'll fit them for free now if it's a simple job under the sink. I've known people asked for £2,000 if it involves digging up the road or pathway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
