They've been available for households for quite a few years but there's a
lobby which opposes them - no idea why. More people are having them
installed though as they see savings in their bills. It's a pity it had to
have a financial side but that's the most important part of life for many
people :-(

Many businesses (perhaps all, I don't know) have to have them.

Young couple who are out all day are finding them far cheaper than on the
old Rates system One of my daughters, because of the value of her house,
was paying a fortune for having an empty house all day and thus not using
the water. Water meter installed and hey presto much reduced bills :-))
