Default Water Butts and Water Meters

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.

Not really - Or at least I don't. Yes you are aware that it costs, but
not to that extent because you are starting further back as it were. It
doe discourage irresponsible usage especially during dry spells before
bans come in.
