Smart Water Meter - Do you have one?

I can't imagine that having a smart water meter will make any difference whatsoever to your water usage and bills, given that you already have a non-smart meter, take readings and so are paying for your actual usage.

As long as you are happy to keep sending them readings, it doesn't seem worth the hassle of having it changed. I certainly wouldn't bother unless they were offering an incentive.

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 ๐Ÿ˜‰
