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 :-))

We're in all day and as a beekeeper I used a huge amount of water to wash
honey extracting, filtering, storage equipment and jars as well as cleaning
the rooms. Our water bills with a meter were lower than when we had water
rates.

Now that I don't have to do that they're minuscule.
