You could be falling out with new neighbours, and creating a bad atmosphere in the Village, and at the end of the day still paying the exact amount or even more than you are? as you know you have 2 options status quo or a water meter, you ruled out the meter on cost? making them pay to have there own supply,you still pay the same, charging them £10? a month, is it worth it? late night discos/Karaoke/youth club could well be on the cards in the future
