martinadanel Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Thanks to everyone for their input. I think we will go ahead and have it installed, because as someone mentioned, if we find that we are paying more with the meter, we can reverse back to set fees. Thanks again!

rudds1 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Hi just wondering if water meters are still cheaper than a fixed monthly charge. At the minute I'm paying £53 a month and have a 4 bedroom house and only me living there now. I do 2 loads of washing a week, shower every day no dish washer and like to wash my car once a week if possible. I've also read posts on here saying if I move to a meter if I change my mind within 12 months I can go back to fixed monthly charge ,is this still correct?

mjhal Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 crikey go to a meter, your bills should be a lot cheaper, I pay £24.00 fortnightly for a three bedroom house but there are four of us so don't think a meter for us would suit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xt500 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 £53 over how many months? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon26 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Im in a similar size house. Wash 3 times a week. Shower at least once a day. Bath twice a week. Use dishwasher 3 times per week. Water garden. Jet wash. Clean cars. I pay £15 per month on meter. Its a no brainer. If they can't fit one they give you assessed charges which should be less than £50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be cheaper for you but if a family with young kids moved into the house it would be more dearer and so a meter may put potential buyers off.
