If you get an underground leak and don't spot it you can end up with a
bill for thousands

It's better to have the meter inside your premises to avoid that. If
it's fitted with an outreader the meter man doesn't need access inside
to do his bit.
Mine's fitted next to the internal stoptap.

Northumbrian water insist on putting them on the external stoptap.
Just done our next doors and dug a big hole to enlarge the trap

No they don't. Northumbrian Water virtually insisted on fitting it
indoors.

Actually the work was carried out by a subsidiary company of theirs -
Kemac Services Ltd.
