However, most of the information is published by Ofwat, Defra, the Environment Agency, the WRc, the Water Demand Management Group, the water companies, WaterUK, CCWater, Waterwise, Exeter University, Imperial College London, the Institute for Public Policy Research and various associated technical bodies and NGOs. Here's a quote from CCWater (formerly the Consumer Council for Water): "Current metering policy is inherently inefficient as, with the exception of new developments, installation is piecemeal as companies react largely to notifications of change of occupation or to customers¹ requests to install meters. This limits the development of smart metering thereby reducing the prospect of innovative tariffs. If companies introduce tariffs that vary according to the stress on supply and increase according to consumption above a certain threshold, then consumers will be able to adjust their water use on a rational basis. Such tariffs would need safeguards to protect vulnerable groups and those on low incomes." Information on Kent's seasonal tariff trial can be found at http://www.savingsontap.co.uk/tariff.html For the rest, Google "identiflow" |
