You can refuse these meters according to this. Please give further opposite
genuine advice.

Hi Dianne,
All houses have electric meters and many with gas as well. They
come with the house when they are new. However 'Smart' meters
are a different kettle of fish!
I don't think there is anything sinister about them. When they
started fitting them some years ago some people paid less for
their water and some people paid more depending on how their old
water rates were calculated.

Jack

confusing them with smart meters, but they have told her
they will be on the property near where the water enters the

Hi
Dianne,
Don't confuse these meters with the 'Smart' meters
that the gas and electric companies want to fit.
Water meters are usually fitted outside off your
own property. They are purely mechanical. I used
to work at the company that made them!
Since they belong to the water company and are not
located on your own property I don't think there
is much you can do. The question of a contract I
don't think enters into it. This is just a more
accurate way of measuring what you use.
I hope this has been helpful.

can you help here. To cut a long story short
my daughter is with a Housing Association and
has been moved to another property as the
flats where she lived are being pulled down.
She has had a letter from Wessex Water to say
all new tenants private or otherwise have to
be fitted with a water meter. According to
what I can find on the internet the government
gave all the water authorities the right to
fit water meters because of the shortages
of
water in some areas??? So Wessex have
now taken upon themselves to fit water meters
in every property when a new tenant or private
or new purchaser of the property moves in.
This cannot be right, shouldn't there be a
signed contract with them for this. I will
send this out to all to see if anyone has any
advice, but if I remember rightly you have had
an up and downer with your water supplier. Di
