Smart Water Meter - Do you have one?

I've had several emails from Severn Trent Water about installing a smart meter - I've deleted the emails as I don't want a smart meter or have the hassle of engineers needing access to my home.
I already have a water meter and send readings regularly to give accurate billing, so I don't see any point / benefit in me having one.

As far as I can tell, Severn Trent Water aren't making smart meters compulsory like some other companies in other areas.

Do you have a smart water meter - have you saved money or has it helped you to reduce usage?

I'm interested to hear GNs thoughts & opinions and not 'sales schpeel' from customer service representatives who will advise as per their company policies 😉

So you learn something everyday it doesnt matter how many people are in the house the sewerage goes by the size of the house hence the reason mine is expensive even though there is only me going to the loo but a family of six living in a small house could be paying less that’s not fair is it ?

Always had a water meter in this house. Changed to smart meter couple of years ago.
