I support use of water meters in general. However, my concern is that once sufficient people/households are metered, if they are all saving money then your income will fall. This, presumably, will lead to a general rise in price of water, whether metered or not. I do not know what is involved in finding and reducing leaks, but feel that 15% reduction is somewhat conservative. Considering all the variables involved, I do not envy you (as a company) coming up with a plan that will satisfy the majority of people - I wish you Good Luck!
