I believe that, as long as you have the permission of the landlord, you can have a meter fitted. My work colleague did, and I'm considering it!!

I pay £65 a month for a 1 bed flat. which makes my water rates just over £650.00 a year

Hi Grannie of 12,
when i lived in a 2 bedroomed flat my water rates were £32 .43 a month
then in 2008 i moved to a 2 bedroomed bungalow and the rates just shot up to £44 .22( and have gone up every year ),when i phoned the water board to ask why they just said it was because of the acreage to which i answered it's still a 2 bedroomed place, one bathroom one kitchen same as the flat i was told that was the price and nothing they or i could do about it .
So now that my water bill has gone up again this year i'm now going onto a water meter .

Annie rates are definitely lower for 1 bedroomed properties.
