South East Water’s programme to install domestic water meters is continuing - the company will be fitting more than 9,000 meters for customers in Aldershot and surrounding villages, where one is not already installed.
Oluseyi Onifade, Metering Manager at South East Water, said:
“Installing meters is a key part of our plan to manage future demand for water. Research has found customers on a water meter use 10 per cent less water than those who are unmetered as it encourages people to think about how they use water.”
The programme began in Hampshire three years ago and has been progressing through the county on a street by street basis. The company will install 375,000 water meters in total - almost 90 per cent of customers in its region will have a meter by 2020.
Once the installation of meters has completed in Aldershot, the programme will move into Fleet and Farnborough later in 2015.
In addition to the domestic metering programme, South East Water is continuing its work to install new water pipes in Aldershot town centre. The £85,000 project will mean less burst pipes and a more secure water supply for the area.
