Does anyone know whether water meters have any effect on water pressure? Our water pressure isn't very high and yet it is normally very good for this area. We've had Portsmouth Water out once and they said something was stuck on the meter - they freed this up but said it might happen again and if so they'd replace the meter. I just wondered whether a new meter would 'up' the water pressure a bit?

A water meter would cause a slight reduction of water pressure and flow rate at high flows, but I wouldn't expect it to be noticeable. Sounds like you should press for the meter to be replaced.
