I just have a nasty feeling about these experiences. Looks as if the
charges are set such that most people would benefit by changing to

companies will have to raise the costs in order to maintain their
incomes. So it looks as if the current rates are being used as an
inducement and likely cannot be sustained long term.

Save that if metering reduces or reverses the growth in water usage,
the water companies can save big money on new infrastructure.
