I have an old circa 1870 house, with three water inlets from three different
directions. Ive had a water fitted 2 years ago, and as far as I can tell,
only the water trough one meter has been metered. This is fabulous news, as
this water main only feeds the cold water supply to the kitchen sink, so
baths, showers and toilets are competely charge free. Yipee

The whole terrace was probably plumbed together and not as
individual houses. I have two points were water enters mine,
and there's only one feed from the road for the terrace (as
my neighbour who dug it up and ripped it out then discovered;-).
I'm not sure what would happen if any of us wanted water meters.
