Default Water Butts and Water Meters


"Gordon H" beans were not doing
too well made

I have had a water butt for a number of years, I also have a water meter
for the last two years, it halved my bill.

I do not have a water meter and do not want one even if it halved my bill.
I don't want to worry about every time I turn the tap on, or how much it
costs to run the water down the garden for my chickens.
Or if I want to water my garden.
If I had a water meter I'd be very concerned about every drop. I pay plenty
for my water supply as it is and because of that I expect to use it as much
as I want (which is not a lot, tbh)
but the idea of it being metered is not for me.
You get into the realms of how much a shower costs, or a bath if you are
metered for water.
