Our local water board (United Utilities) fitted a water meter after convincing me that we would pay less for water on a meter. There was an agreement that if it didn't then I could revert back to a standard payment option. They came out and fitted a meter at the end of my driveway and told me to enjoy cheaper water. Straight away I had problems. To cut a very long and boring story short we had them put us back onto a standard payment option. No one came out to the meter. The problems continue. I recently got talking to someone that sells central heating for a living. I told him of my water problems and he tells me that when a meter is put in the water board reduce the inflow pipe into the house which in turn reduces pressure. That is the only way a meter can be fitted. Now if this is correct it could explain a thing or two. Can someone confirm this please, so that I can go back to the water board and try and get things put as they were before this installation. Thanks
