Ah but.... councils have assigned an attractive temporary cost/rate per
unit of water which has not been based on what is actually needed by the
companies.

For example if it costs £x amount to run the water company, invest and
make a profit that x should eventually be shared out equally between ALL
water users.

Up until now they can create the illusion that water metering is cheap as
they have probably assigned a lower than required cost to each unit used,
this makes it 'appear' more attractive to would be meter installers.


Wait until we all have the blinking things and I bet my bottom dollar that
the prices will be hiked up until the pips squeak!

For those of us at home all day etc. it will not be as advantageous as for
those who eat/drink/use washing facilities etc at work, some will be able
to use the gyms etc to save at home! Likewise it may well affect those who
have 'dirty' jobs. None of this will become apparent until everyone has
gone past the point of no return with the meters.

But why shouldn't we pay for what we use?
