Moving Water Meter

[MickBrown]

I need to move an internal water meter, I can easily move it with out disturbing the seals on the meter am I allowed to?

i would say as long its in the same room and its accessible for reading you should be ok , but a phone call to water provider will make live easy

Yes, it is just moving it sideways, it has a remote reading facility and the cable looks long enough to not cause a problem. I was planning to call the water company anyway. I looked on the Internet and could only find the United Utilities web site (not the water company concerned.) with information on moving meters. They say okay but charge a £46.50 inspection fee.

just ring your water provider on monday and get a ref number from your inquiry and then have the work done !

If everything is long enough to reach, I would do it and not even consider even phoning to ask.

yeah i would too, just move it to suit and not tell them, as long as its plumbed in and not by passesd then i wouldnt bother informing them.
