Sorry firstly, but not sure what the best place to post this.
I've had Thames Water turn up at my road with no notice on Friday and dump a load of there stuff on a big plastic sheet including a tone of earth steeling my parking place. Says work will be done in about a week but when I called them was told more like twice that!
So for work I was told by a contractor that would take 20 minutes, I'm losing a ability to park outside my place for maybe 2 weeks!
I lived in place for a long time, they have all my contact details including land line and mobile.
I got no letter no call, nothing. Not even a leaflet through the door when they were knocking on doors last week a neighbour told me.
After calling them and spending a very long time on the phone was told my area is in the serious zone!
Strange how then the government map doesn't seem to show any red in this area at all.
And I can't remember the last time there was a hosepipe ban here!
Further to that a water reservoir near me, 1.5 miles away was taken out to build housing about a year and a half ago!
So my question is;
Can I stop them, or if not, can I stop them installing a WiFi meter?
It will collect and send them my usage every 24 hours.
Now when Thames Water are hacked in future it will be very easy for whoever pays for the data off the dark web to work out when someone is on holiday away from home over time! Or worse the Wifi transmission to be hacked as data is transmitted so you can see day to day if any water is being used or not!
Thanx for any thoughts on this.
