How much does a water meter cost to install?
There's only two of us left in a four bed now the kids have moved out so a meter should save us money. Is installation actually free from the water company or are there costs if the pipework needs altering?

"Hi there,
This would be at no charge to yourself as this is owned by the waterboard.
If you contact your local waterboard and request more information regarding a water metre they will happily be able to assist you."
