We recently rented our house out for a year and the tenants did not get
our permission to have a water meter installed.

Three Valley are refusing to give us unmetered water now.

On their website it clearly states:
What if I am renting my premises?
You must obtain the permission of your landlord before applying for a meter installation.

so I though I had a fairly strong case.

Has anybody got any ideas or lines of enquiry I could persue to try and
get unmetered water back.

Reason for wanting unmetered water:
Three Valleys currently charge about £130 per year for unmetered water
to a property like ours.
At the moment metered water is costing us approx £20 per month.

Thanks in advance

How many of you are there?
If there is less than four of you then there is a almost certinaly some
scope for water savings.

I think the best that you could hope for is to persue the tenants in the
small claims court for the likely difference multiplied by a few years.

I'm with Three Valleys and 5 people use £20/month.
