Advantages: could save money

Disadvantages: could increase the bill

ar water bill goes up more than the rate of inflation. It seems that utility companies can do what they like.

Generally water companies charge a flat rate calculated on the rateable value of your property.

Water meters are suitable for households that use less water. When a meter is installed householder pays according to the water used. The meter works on similar line to electricity or gas meters.

In most cases a meter will be installed free of charge. In houses where it is too expensive to install one, customer maybe asked to pay.

Water meter will help conserve the usage. It will in most places bring the water bills down. So for most people it is a good thing really.

For those who use too much water, metering is not a good idea because it will increase the bill.

Once a meter goes in a property it can't be taken out. Water Company will use it to bill the householder so switching to a water meter is a tough one because there is no coming back.

We changed to meter about a year ago. Since than we have saved about £100.

Summary: For most households it is a good idea
