THE INSTALLATION OF new meters has resulted in “gushing” water bills for some shocked Barbadians.

Back in 2015, the Barbados Water Authority (BWA) began installing new ultrasonic water metres, mainly in sections of St James and St Michael, which it promised were high-tech and would better serve residents.
