I had one fitted 2week ago and today i got a £108 rebate, i can still have it took out inside 12 months if i want

 

im on a meter too, never had anything else so cant comment on wether its better or not. what i can say is that our bill doesnt seem too excessive considering the amount of water we use.

 

yes we are, new house so had to be....saved us loads up until having the little un, now washers NEVER off etc and its about same as non meter

 

Get darn to river wiv weshing then

 

The river came to us in june we saved a few quid back then

 

Dont start me!

I moved into my house in 2002 was newly built, paid £30 a month as that was the water rates at the time or something.

Rang up united utilities about my direct debit and was told i had overpaid £500 so they sent me out a nice lil cheque!

A month later, they realise they have cocked up and i now have to pay it all back.

They then realised the houses were new and installed water meters about 3 years ago, and my bills are roughly the same as what it was with the rates so its not all bad! Except the fact that im home alot more and bathing twice a day ( both me and josh) so my next bill is expected to be £1000 for the year

 

lol

 

Got a meter fitted about three months ago was paying £27 a month now its £11

 

I have a watermeter, pay a couple of quid each month....

Mainly down to the fact I only have my sink and washing machine on the meter

??? How have you managed to bypass the watermeter for the bath/shower and central heating?

 

We pay £42 a month rates (they must work it out that as its three bedroom we'd use a lot?) may be better off on a meter, but then what about all the water we use to wash the cars with

been on a water meter 5 yrs, dont cost alot

 

were on a meter and use loads of water due to having a few fish tanks that need water changed, one rather large (600litres), and we only pay 20 quid a month

 

we have a 4 bed house with 3 bogs and ours was 17 a month

 

you obviously dont bathe or shite enough then

 

We are on a meter, last bill was £7.91 for 6 months, the previous one to that was £236 for 6 months work that out?

 

My mates a plumber he has a machine that can freeze the water in the pipe where it enters your house (or you could possibly turn it off in the manhole in street) once waters off you can change your plumbing however you like....most houses have the feed into the kitchen (where the meter is) so I left that piped up and took a bypass pipe pre-meter to the pipe that feeds the rest of house and capped off the end of the sink/washing machine pipe. If that makes sense....then your house gets water pre-meter from mains without clocking on the meter.

I'd have bypassed the lot but Then they might get suspicious and investigate....for the time being it works quite well.

Almost. We use all 3 toilets all day and flush them at the end lmao

No point getting washed either to get dirty again next morning is there

 

You clever bastid!!!! I wanna do that!

dodgy cunt

You can get piep freeze in a tin if anyones thinking of doing it. New houses you will struggle to do it though as the meter is at the outside stop tap in the pavement Usualy anyways

 

just as i thought... pikey skanks

 

Do you have to pay to have a water meter installed?

 

god knows how your bills are so cheap I live on a farm and my water bill per year is 1300 fooking quid and i don't have any animal apart from 2 teenage boys.Had a cow once but she divorced me 5 years ago

 

That's a big bill Tony, why is it so fookin expensive?

 

I wish i knew always been similar to that in the 7 years i have lived there my meter must be chipped
the water rates were alot cheaper than a foookin x wife

 

But you can turn a tap off easily, the wife to turn off on the other hand is more difficult and expensive!

 

Nope, but they do ask you a load of questions to make sure it'll not end up costing you more......like if you have 10 kids and 4 bathrooms then your better off on rates.....

Also you can have ti removed anytime within 12 months IIRC if you want it gone cos your paying more (please check before ordering 1 tho )
