Default A water meter fiddle?

Your "2 cistern" proposal would break the law by deliberately
contriving to cause
the meter to read incorrectly:


Now that I am aware that I (aided and abetted by a friend's horse) have
pinched water IAW the following:

(2) No water fitting shall be installed, connected, arranged or used
in such a manner that it causes or is likely to cause-

(i) waste, misuse, undue consumption or contamination of water
supplied by a water undertaker; or

(ii) the erroneous measurement of water supplied by a water
undertaker.

I wonder what you suggest I should do. We actually have about 5 troughs
on the property and they all are only likely to ever fill at a slow rate
due to horse's drinking habits. If you wish to draft a letter of enquiry
for me I'll gladly forward it to United Ut's.


The difference is you can't demonstrate intent with what you've got at
the moment - mostly because there wasn't any. If you have a 2-cistern
solution for no apparent reason other than to ensure you get water as
slow as possible, that shows intent.


That would be a difference, but in this instance I'm fully aware that I am
drawing water from UU's system without paying for it and that must change
things. Ie No water fitting shall be installed, (I have several) &
cause the erroneous measurement of water supplied by a water
undertaker.(which I have proven to take place) So, my question remains -
what action do I now need to take? Maybe some of the characters who think
I'm a thief could put their thinking caps on!

Take no action;
Your _confession_ has been noted by Echelon!
Soon -well for some definition of soon- a report will be forwarded to DEFRA
and the Rural Payments Agency will be visiting! {after George Brown has
re-shuffled _his_ Cabinet.)
