Ways to pay your water bill
Your bill covers the charges of providing water to the place where you live and taking used water away again to be treated.
You can pay your bill in several different ways, to suit you. You can pay by cash, cheque, postal order, debit or credit card, over the phone or online. If you would prefer to spread the costs over the year, you have the option of paying in instalments. And you can pay at any location displaying the Payzone logo.
One of the easiest ways to budget for your payments is to pay by Direct Debit. If you choose to pay this way, we'll reduce your bill by £5 each year.
