Can the local water company instal a meter in the street.as i am a new home owner to the house(built 40's) ?

Question

had a letter to say they can do it due to law 1999 act. i dont want one.

Answer 1

Once they decide to install meters you can't stop them. It's a "You can't fight city hall sort of thing. I think you'll find your water bills will go down. Mine did. You should receive a booklet that will give you hints on saving water. If not research it on your computer

Answer 2

It is cheaper for them to install the meter in the street than in your home, and will be much less aggravation for you.  You can not choose not to have a meter.

Answer 3

Well why don't you want one? They are not visible and it wont affect you or your bills.

Answer 4

You'd need to speak to your local government about this.  You don't say where you live so this is impossible to answer with any accuracy at all.

Answer 5

A utility company has the right to install a meter anytime they choose .

How was the water going into your home being measured /paid prior to you owning the property ?

Water / sewage has to be paid for .... and the ONLY way to be fair is to have a meter ....
