Our local water board (United Utilities) fitted a water meter afterconvincing me that we would pay less for water on a meter. There was anagreement that if it didn't then I could revert back to a standard paymentoption.They came out and fitted a meter at the end of my driveway and told me toenjoy cheaper water.Straight away I had problems. To cut a very long and boring story short wehad them put us back onto a standard payment option. No one came out to themeter. The problems continue.I recently got talking to someone that sells central heating for a living. Itold him of my water problems and he tells me that when a meter is put inthe water board reduce the inflow pipe into the house which in turn reducespressure. 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 boardand try and get things put as they were before this installation.Thanks

Could you perhaps elaborate on this?Different taste, intermittent fountains of blood coming out of taps, ...

Sorry, apart from being way out (I think you added a few zeros there), there are only two universal forms of comparative measurement, Olympic swimming pools and the size of Wales
