Water mater taken out??
« on: May 21, 2012, 07:55:00 am »
Hi people,

Has any one ever had a water meter take out  of there
House?? The reason I ask is I'm just doin a new house up
And I was told there was no meter but to my horror I found one
Yesterday! I'm not impressed at all as in my current house I pay under £20
A month, and I think we're I'm moving to it will  be more than 5 times
That amount, so has any one every got one taken out and what
Reason did they give if so??

I no its a long shot as I can see them removing it..

Cheers colin

i would say you have no chance they will remove it, and £20 a month for water without a meter is very cheap think my bill when I didnt have a meter was about £450 for the year and thats was a few years back now

I think you have one year to get rid if you had it installed in the first place.

Any come back as you were told it didn't have one?

i remember a couple of years back when i was part time wc and was fiting windows we worked for a yorkshire water plant.i had a good chat with the guys who moniter water usage in the area,intresting thing when i mentioned wfp and water meters the guys just said divert the pipe (ie as in tap in before the meter and then after-with a tap/valve to it the meter would act as resistance so water would flow easier around it than through)either run it for a month and turn off or alternate the valve ie on two days and off one day.this is only here-say of course and would be illegal to do of course ;) ;)it was just the water board's guys take on how you COULD if you wanted to get round the water meter issue,i'm sure it has been well researched by them ;)
