Water Meters
When you request to switch to a meter, it will normally be installed within 30 days. You will then only be charged for the water you use from the date the meter is fitted.
If your meter is not fitted within 30 days then your unmeasured charges will be stopped at the end of that period and your metered bill will begin when we fit the meter.


Wessex have responded in the past very well to any problem including the burst pipe that took our wall away although I did not claim for the rebuild trust they will be fair with us later on!
I do see the increase in there yearly charges trust the need their money for investment and not to give more to the fat cats.
Never go for a Meter if more than 2 in family they like that.
