I have found that I have a water leak after the water meter and before the main shut off tap (meter still goes round when turned of at mains). As the meter hole has water in it does it mean the leak is at the joint between meter and the pipe to my house?
I thought you'd see it if it was leaking at the joint. Also for the meter to be visibly moving that's a reasonable amount of water and hence it would quickly fill the meter hole. I'd have a check further along as well.
Some type of meter have very fast moving dials and the most sensitive of these can move with quite a small leak.
If the meter box is outside you property boundary they water Co. should fix for free. If it's inside you boundary then you might get it fixed if it is in the meter box itself - anyone know the chapter and verse on this?

According to a reading i took it is losing .025 m3 / hour.
BTW I've reported it to Anglian water and they say it will take 4 days to get a letter to me. Why they can't come around and fix it...

Now, remind me again why I don't want a water meter...

That leak would be around £350 /year . About the same as what many people pay on the flat rate schemes. As I have said before unless you have a largish number of people in your home, or are very keen on hoses/sprinklers/swimming pools you will almost certainly save a substantially by going to a meter.
