Just to let people know our water meter has been stolen! We spoke to hydro Aqua who said there was nothing to pay on our account and no reason for it to be missing , gave me a maintenance team telephone number to re install a new one , but to have a translator to explain as no English spoken. We phoned our lawyer to explain our predicament , and turns out , because it was stolen you have to go in person to nearest police station who have to report the theft give you their document to cover you for the installation of a new meter. No one can go on your behalf it must be the account holder, so now we wait for restrictions to be lifted before we can do anything and get flight over from uk to La Zenia our district . Our lawyer also said we were their third client to have this problem , so please be aware of this problem , no one else in our block of meters touched but as I say it is happening so be aware. Regards

Hi Janefitz and welcome to the forum,

Sorry to hear of your predicament, if you give your lawyer a specific Power of Attorney, couldn't they go to the Police Station for you?

Many thanks for sharing, hope you can get this sorted quickly.

Kind regards,

Kim

Hi so sorry to hear of you theft, scumbags.and made worse with not being over here, life with this 90/180 days is going to make life very difficult for us with holiday homes over in Spain.

Just out of interest and being a women,how easy is it to steal a meter both water and electricity, is it as simple as undoing a few nuts a bolts ?

Can you not give your Lawyer power of attorney for this job to be sorted ?

Hi Denver,

I asked the same thing, but apparently this has to be done in person by the complainant 🤷‍♀️

Kind regards, 

Kim
