I installed my own water meter just to see really what my consumption was, two people in my household, wife and me, and 10 cats! I have used 200 cu meters so far since 5th April 2012! ( just a few days over 10 months) or roughly 230 cu meters for I year!
I am not sure what is the metered charge but they also add fixed charges on top of that. This may well work cheaper than paying close to 600 quid a year ( actual 580.00 per year)
I found out the reason, my house was once converted into two separate flats, each with a chargeable value of 210 quid, so the total chargeable value is the total of both flats now that it has been converted back to a 3 bedroom house!
May be I might ring them and say I have now converted my house into two separate flats with me occupying the downstairs! and i only use the downstairs flat so I should pay only on 210 pound rateable value! and tell them that the upstairs is unoccupied! see what they have to say to that.
