I appreciate plans need set in place to ensure a good clean supply of water - no problem.  Currently we do not have a meter but as there are only two of us in a 5 bed house, it is unlikely we are underpaying as it is, and would not wish to be disturbed by the installation process.  Perhaps when we downsize it may be more appropriate.  I would like to be kept updated, please and appreciate the work involved in ensuring water is 'freely' available in this area at the turn of the tap. Kind regards. PMJ
