If you have a water meter, we send you a bill every six months for the water you have used. The date you receive your bill will depend on when we read your meter. If your meter has just been fitted, your first 'metered' bill could arrive any time up to six months after the meter has been fitted.

Why not register for My Account? Our free online service allows you to give a meter reading, set up a Direct Debit, make a payment, and take advantage of paperless billing.

Council tax bands are different to the rateable value of your home and by law, can’t be used to calculate your water charges. So any changes in your council tax banding won’t affect your water bill.

We use rateable values for properties without a water meter. These were set by the Inland Revenue prior to 31 March 1990 and were based on factors such as the size, condition and location of your home.

Why not see if you would be better off with a water meter? If you live alone, have a small family, or live in a property with a high rateable value, you could be missing out on cheaper bills. Please visit our water meters area to decide if a meter is right for you. You can also apply for a water meter online or by calling us on 0345 072 6065. We fit water meters free of charge and you have up to two years to switch back to rateable value charging if you're not making a saving.

We send information every month to credit reference agencies based on the status of your payment arrangement and balance. Each lender uses different criteria to decide whether to give you credit and will consider lots of different information from other companies.

If you’re not using any water at the property, please let us know by calling us on  0345 026 7661 so that we can update your water account and stop sending bills. We may also disconnect your water supply to avoid the risk of water leaks.

However if you need water for any reason while the property is empty (e.g. while renovating, or for heating or cleaning your property) then charges are still payable.

If a water supply is needed for any purpose, for example renovation or central heating, then you are required to pay charges. This still applies even if the property is empty.

Please call us on the numbers below if you need to talk to us about this further.
