Re: Water Meters

We've had a water meter for 4 years now and it has saved us at least £120 per year. There are only two of us (and the dog!), we don't have baths (we don't even have a bath in the house), but also, we don't stint on what we use for other purposes...eg car washing, watering, the alebit small, garden (we do have a water butt). The washing machine is run when necessary, as is the dishwasher.

There was no charge for the fitting of the meter (we come under Wessex Water) and we had the option of having it taken away if it was not to our benefit within the first year. The family across the road have three young girls and they are finding it is saving them money too.

I've yet to hear of anyone living on their own or just two in the household for whom there has not been a saving.
