I don't think I have particularly low usage, like a lone person with no
garden etc. It would be an advantage then to be on a water meter.
I like to water my garden if necessary, it's not a small one, and I run a
hosepipe down to my chickens huts to fill several barrels to dip from.
I'd rather pay a fixed amount to use as much as I need.

Not really - Or at least I don't. Yes you are aware that it costs, but
not to that extent because you are starting further back as it were. It
doe discourage irresponsible usage especially during dry spells before
bans come in.
