Many complaints have been aired regarding the high cost of electricity and water services. They have certainly hit hard most of the working class and pensioners and it seems the rates are here to stay.

The point I wish to make is regarding the hiring of the meters themselves. I pay a rental fee of €204 per annum on the electricity meter and another €62 for the water meter. A total of €266 every year added to the cost of consumption.

My question is, why do we have to hire the meters when they are there for the convenience of ARMS Ltd?
