Well I think that depends on the company. They obviously don't want to employ readers and they don't trust the user to read them either. so in effect you will not find anyone wishing to supply you unless you have one after 2020. Brian
It doesn't depend on the company. It's how it is. You don't have to accept a smart meter, you can insist on a mechanical one.
Some 2 years ago my water supplier wrote to me to inform that they will be fitting a water meter.
They came along my street fitting meters but not mine as my stop tap was too old? to be converted (house built in '37)
Letter through the door said they would be back in January to fit the meter, this was January 2016.
Maybe I could have a little earner piping my water to my two neighbours who are metered!
