Do you have a water meter?

Had a quick Google because we are considering whether a having a water meter would be more economical. It appears that most water authorities do position them outside your house near the boundary stop tap, but United Utilities say they fit them in the house whenever possible.

every one has supossed to have a stop tap outside their property so they said but couldnt find mine so it is under my sink ,

Water meters don't always save you money if you are a household of 2. I had mine removed after a year as the bill was higher, only slightly, but definitely higher. That was with a daily bath, a daily shower, dishwasher once a day and about 4 washing machine cycles a week. Didnt even use a hosepipe.

Storynanny they told me that no one,s bill should be higher than what they payed befor having a meter .

Water meters fitted free within your home and read remotely, if required outside I would have to pay for fitting.

Harri my nieghbours didnt pay and 3 of us got them at the same time and next door has her,s in a outside cupboard , the water company have to come out every 3 month and read hers she has a old type

Ah-ha - new technology harrigran . Thank you for explaining. I live in an area where everyone still has a pavement one fitted when the houses are built.
Guess that policy may vary between water companies.
