Ah, you've missed the context that this is coordinated with British Gas, providing the utility natural gas infrastructure that exists to heat the water.
Many gas companies have already entrenched fiber when performing maintenance on consumer gas lines for monitoring stations. Fiber is shallower and is easy to trench relative to gas lines. It also serves as an early warning sign when digging.

Even if they did... it would still be cost prohibitive to split, splice, run and terminate fiber into a residential unit - all in the name of saving $200 a year. It simply does not make economic sense. Like I said before - I strongly suspect the entire truth is not being told about this arrangement.
