Water leak.
I have found that I have a water leak after the water meter and before
the main shut off tap (meter still goes round when turned of at mains). As the meter hole has water in it does it mean the leak is at the joint between meter and the pipe to my house? -- Steve |

Also for the meter to be visibly moving that's a reasonable amount of water and hence it would quickly fill the meter hole. I'd have a check further along as well. |

BTW I've reported it to Anglian water and they say it will take 4 days to get a letter to me. Why they can't come around and fix it... -- Zaax http://www.ukgatsos.com |

About the same as what many people pay on the flat rate schemes. As I have said before unless you have a largish number of people in your home, or are very keen on hoses/sprinklers/swimming pools you will almost certainly save a substantially by going to a meter. -- Ed Sirett - Property maintainer and registered gas fitter.
