Home size more accurate than water meters!

I am probably showing my age here,
but when I were a lad, didn't they have what was then called 'Water Rates' ?
and then the new fangled metres came along and everyone thought their bills would go up and they did and now perhaps the meter is too transparent and people can see what their water is costing per cubic metre when compared to something like evian, and therefore it must be getting difficult to subtly raise prices therefore....
we go back to a rates style system where price is arbitary against the service provided like for example council tax ?
what does the jury think ?

It only applies to those households who have requested a water meter and where the supplier has been unable to fit one. For example in tower blocks etc. So for a lot of customers it could actually mean they get a fairer bill wehere they arn't able to get one based on a meter."Being nice costs nothing and sometimes gets you extra bacon" - Pondlife.Comment

"It only applies". That's how it always starts. Soon they realise they've pulled the wool over our eyes and decide it's a better system for everyone.Feist - 1234. One camera, one take, no editing. Superb. How they did it

It's actually in their interests to stop smaller households i.e. those with less people then bedrooms for asking for water meters or forcing them to change to water meters when they move house, as they get more money from them under the Rateable Value system."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
