It's interesting to know that water bills can be capped. It is something I was wondering about - especially as the whole of my borough is currently being converted to water meters.
As I understand it, having the water meter fitted is compulsory - though we don't have to switch to metered water immediately - I think I've got around two years before that side of things becomes compulsory.
There have been a couple of sporadic incidents where my husband has left taps running and I was wondering how that might play out in the big picture, should he start doing this more often.
It isn't a big issue at the moment, but the possibility of being able to cap a water bill is something useful for me to know further down the line
