There is a discount on council tax bills for single people living in a property, presumably because they are using fewer of the amenities provided by the council than a couple or a family would.
Also, surely one of the points of water meters is to encourage people to use less water, and not to waste it unnecessarily?
"Avid gardeners" do not have to use a lot of water. If they have space, they can have water butts which store rain water, and will probably in many cases have changed at least some of their plants to those which can cope better with drought, because of climate change.
They are not being "penalised"! If they are on a meter, they are paying for the water they use, along with everybody else! If they choose to use a lot of water on their garden, then that's up to them!
