Compulsory water meters?
Come home to find my whole street has had water meters fitted, and my neighbour and I don't recall any correspondence with Southern Water about meters being fitted.
I thought you had to request a meter?
Anyone else being forced onto a meter?
Why is it when it's stuff you don't want, they're massively ahead of the deadline?

Not yet, but this quote from Southern Water looks like it will be inevitable...
"...the government has identified our water supply area as an area of serious water stress and has given us the power to meter all of our water supply customers by 2015."
