My mum has just had a water meter fitted and I'm a bit confused by the whole thing. The night before I went round and cleared a space beneath the sink where the stopcock is. Next thing I know the chap from Seven Trent had been round and fitted the water meter in about a minute and not inside the house. According to my Mum he went out to the black plastic cap, on the pavement in front of the house. Fiddled with it and said it was fitted! He left her with a booklet and left.
I've just read the booklet and it says a whole load about how to read meters etc, and shows pictures of meters, but no mention about what my Mum has had done.
A few questions:
1) where is the meter
2) how will they take a reading to show how much water is being used?
3) the booklet says the homeowner should regularly check the readings. How can I do this?
All very confusing, and no explanation in the book.
