Notes:
The Isle of Wight water metering trial is one of twelve being conducted in England and Wales. The paper describes the consultations that were undertaken, leading up to the design of a metered tariff to meet local requirements. The trial was designed to investigate the problems which a large-scale implementation of water metering would have and specifically examines meters placed either within a property or laid at the property boundary. The particular problems that arose are discussed, and the problems associated with electrical earthing are briefly described.The trial, which commenced in the autumn of 1988, involves installing a water meter in all 53 000 Island properties. Southern Water Services Ltd engaged Southern Projects (a sister company within the Southern Water Group) to organize the installation work.The paper outlines the principal activities of how the trial was planned and executed, with some thoughts on the problems arising during the installation phase.
