Ferdinand Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 A couple of days ago my mains water volume fell by about 3/4. This is a piccie inside my meter hole. I think it means the supplier thinks there is a problem with the account. I'm not aware, but given recent illnesses I would not be surprised. Can someone confirm? Thanks F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conor Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 Nothing wrong there. Just make sure the tap is fully open. A restricted bung is usually yellow, white are full flow, red are stopped. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temp Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 Neighbours pressure OK? Perhaps check the water co website. In our area we get regular water main failures. They have to bridge the fault with hoses until they can fix it, meanwhile we get somewhat reduced pressure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferdinand Posted June 23 Author Share Posted June 23 Should I not be able to read the water meter there? That used to be the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up until recently, I read it by looking down that hole with a phone camera, which is immediately on the threshold of my drive entrance. I may even have a piccie from a couple of years ago. Nothing else has been fitted to my knowledge, so they are getting the readings from somewhere. Is it perhaps a remote sensing / reporting unit? I'm not aware of anything else being fitted, and I've lived here for 10+ years now. However, my water is now back at full pressure, so I have no idea what happened. Interruptions here are very, very rare. I think I may have had one unscheduled interruption in a decade. Out looking at manholes this morning I found one dating from our very first cable tv / internet installation, by Diamond Cable going back to the mid-1990s. Call me Jeremy - I have spared you the 5000x3000 images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe90 Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 That’s bonkers, your meter going missing, I would contact your water co and ask why your meter is missing (it’s theirs not yours) and how are you/them supposed to measure your water usage (before they start sending you stupid bills).

Onoff Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 At one point we had two water meters. We had a water meter already, inside our boundary fence. Other properties didn't as our plot was originally part of a bigger small holding. They wrote to everyone including us saying they would be fitting meters. We wrote and said we already have one. I came home and found they'd fitted another at the roadside. It got very confusing bill wise. Any way, the original meter: Then after me having got them to remove it. Looks very similar to what you have now: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
