Hello,
Would anyone know about water meters?
We're a bit grumpy because we've found out that not only are we charged per litre on drinking water (which is fair enough, that's what the meter is for after all); we are charged for sewerage on the same amount. That seems wrong because not all the water from the taps goes to the drains. I'm thinking of steam from cooking, the dishwasher, the shower, etc.
My main concern is that we are keen gardeners and a lot of water goes onto the garden. Whilst the other examples might be small, the amount we use on the garden is not.
The down pipes on our gutters do not make it easy for us to connect butts, but I am thinking about getting some new down pipes installed to help us with that.
In the meantime, the water co. have said if we fit a meter on the garden tap we will not have to pay sewerage on the water used on the garden. The problem is that I see there are different classes of meter; does anyone know which class I would need for a garden tap?
TIA Stephen.
