Default Water Butts and Water Meters

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.

Trust me, - you don't!
I use water in the same way I always did, but I no longer feel that I am
paying for the water used by the lady at number 18, who uses a hose pipe
to swill down her paved front garden, and even the pavement in front of
her house.
She has OCD, the only time I went in her kitchen I was almost overcome
by cleaning fluid fumes. ;-)
