We (200 home village) have recently been  connected to  Government  Water ( previously had a village borehole). Began to  notice  gurgling in our storage tank from the  ball valve.  Apparently it's from air in the new pipes coming  through the  new meter.  The air gets into the pipes from leaks and temporary disconnections BUT the meter also registers this water/air mix for which we are charged so although  Government  water is cheaper we are metered as using more.  Fortunately we have retained  our bore hole connections and can switch back if the bills get bigger buts it's worth  checking that you are not paying for aireated water
