and has no effect on portability.


If the water is aerated can the water company be sued or fined for
supplying adulterated merchandise, or for the inaccuracy of the water
meter reading 1 litre of water when in fact it's less than a litre of
water that has been supplied?


Not all houses in UK have meters. I don't, and I suspect the majority don't
either.
