Morning allMy water supplier has just fitted a water leakage detecter to my stop cock in the pavement so now i guess i just wait for them to contact me to tell me my water usage is above normal (currently producing approx 500litres of pure a day)Have any of you experienced this? do they insist you have a water meter fitted?

They are desperate to get him on a meter. He won’t allow it.
If you are on a meter, I would tell them. If you divert your waste water to the garden rather than the drain then you can claim a discount on waste water/sewerage.I lived in a property with no meter for years. The water company knew they were losing water but never knew where. Sounds like they have pinned down your ‘leak’.
When i used to work for Anglian Water 20yrs ago, they could legally make you go on a meter if you were a commercial business. Things may have changed but i doubt it.

I think you may have to as your water is being used for business purposes — just like your exempt in a drought (can’t have it both ways)If you refuse they may stick you on a business tarif - which is expensive.Yes you can meter water to the ro system - about £30 off ebayI did this when moving into a unit - AW came and checked it and I only pay for water in - no sewage charge which halved the water bill
As others have said, fit your own meter before your ro so you know exactly how much water your business is using (including rejected waste) you can then calculate the cost for your tax return.
Waste ro - goes to the farmers field next door not down the drain 👍
