Oceanic said:Enjoy the wet weather because when we have two days of sunshine we'll have the water boards saying they’re introduce water meters, as we've had yet another record breaking hot summer.
They are already thinking about introducing water meters so when we've got torrential rain then if we don't use so many gallons a day then they're fine us because if we don't, then it will result in flooding, we can't win.
This government has us over a barrel, it's all down to extra tax.

For the record, I had a water meter installed and have saved loads on my water bills
Grendel said:They're regulated by Ofwat, which is a government department who, amongst other things, set limits on the prices water companies can charge.
MYOB said:Ah.
Too used to not paying for water here, although its not like the local authorities do a particularly good job of supplying it - theres cryptosporidium in the water in Galway City, for instance.
