Please if you live alone or a couple.If you have no garden or use the Launderette for your washing study if a water meter would be beneficial for you.The Water Companies in league with Ofwat do not want to publicise water meters and their policy is still the same as in 1999 when these minutes of a meeting were made. JM explained that NWT would include with the bill a statement that there was a meter option available and ask its customers if they would like any further information. JM said that they had considered not explaining that a meter would be fitted free at this stage. However, people requesting further information would receive literature stating that the meter option was free of charge. The CSC supported a low key approach in promoting the free meter entitlement. CW asked how NWT would promote the free meter option to unmeasured customers experiencing payment difficulties who could benefit from moving to a measured charge. JM explained that if an unmeasured customer is having difficulty in paying its bill NWT will advise the customer that it may be beneficial for them to have a meter installed i.e. depending on the rateable value of its property and typical usage. CW stressed that they should continue to promote the meter option to vulnerable customers.” YOUR CURRENT YEARLY BILL UNITED UTILITIES FIGURES ONE PERSON £300-£400 SAVINGS £45-£145 £400-£500 SAVINGS £145-£245 £500-£600 SAVINGS £245-£345 TWO PEOPLE £400-£500 SAVINGS £28-£128 £500-£600 SAVINGS £128-£228

Hi all I was just wondering if anyone could help? We have prepayment meters for both gas and electric and both with British Gas. They were in the property when we first started renting it so have carried on with them. Does a person have to come out and read them? I am sure I read on their website that we don't need them to as it is done automatically via the card and stick thing (this was september 2009). I am sick and tired of people knocking on my door - I won't let them in as I don't trust them and on pay as you go phone with minimal credit to ring and check their ID. Thanks for reading and I look forward to your response
