I have a water meter, previously my water rates were based on a full occupancy of our 4 bedroomed house, now that there is only the two of us we are making a massive savings by having a water meter.
I still water the garden and clean the car, we run a washing machine and a dishwasher. My advice, if you have a largish house and there is only yourself and or a wife then go for the meter, it is saving me hundreds.
