The meter installation is down to the water company and if the landowner won't allow access for an internal one (not liked anyway because of access requirements) then it will be installed externally at the water stopcock (a simple job, takes an hour...). They (water) recently installed meters on my sons estate.....one contractor came along, dug up the stopcock covers and installed new and bigger ones, then another came along the next day and installed the piping and meters....two days to do two dozen houses.....and it is EU policy to have metered and expensive water.
Don't even go down the overpopulation route....I have talked to some DEDICATED greens who wander around at EU level and I am convinced that their population solution is two-pronged:
1. Birth control
2. Death control
You see, birth control is a poor solution to population control: it leaves an aging population increasingly supported by a younger one (which is reducing) and means importation of younger people from other countries to maintain the workforce (which we see now).
Never forget that nazi Germany was a "green" country, they just didn't like people much. Very like our "green" organisations now.
Others have dug into the problems deeper:

However, I have now gathered enough to determine that we are indeed dealing with the EU – and in a big way. The current agenda is coming entirely from the EU, and in particular from Commission Communication COM(2007) 414 final, on: "Addressing the challenge of water scarcity and droughts in the European Union".

Thus, by July 2007, the trade journal Global water intelligence was reporting that there were 666 reservoirs in the UK "and rising". To overcome the perennial problem of water shortages, five major new reservoir projects had been thought necessary, plus three large extensions to existing reservoirs. This was not an academic project. Outline plans had been set out in the water companies' 25-year water resources plans prepared in 2004.

Despite this, there has been no specific declaration by successive governments, opposing the building of reservoirs. Simply, with just one exception, it has not happened – the climate nannies are pursuing instead a policy of reduced water consumption, in line with its more general climate change mitigation strategy.
