Assuming you have already contacted us on 0345 026 7661 to let us know about your move, the final bill for your old home will be sent to your new address and should arrive within a week of moving into your new home.

Charges will be made where services are provided to a premises (for example, renovating your home, cleaning or heating).

If you’ve recently moved into a new home, this is likely to be the reason for an increase in your water use. You often use a lot more water when you move home due to cleaning the property, decorating and/or renovations so your first bill is likely to be higher than subsequent bills. Why not order some water saving freebies to help save water in the home? They’re easy to fit and will help to reduce both your water and energy bills.

If you have a water meter and have a credit on your account, please give us a meter reading so we can bill you for the water you have used.

You'll usually find your water meter under the kitchen sink where your water supply comes into your home, in an underground box in the garden, or in the footpath outside your property.

We offer a choice of free items including a save-a-flush, a shower regulator, a shower timer, a tap insert and a 'toothy timer' for the kids.

Yes we do.

There are lots of small things you can do around the home to save water - from only switching on the dishwasher when it's full, to fixing that dripping tap.

With the popularity of hot tubs on the rise, it’s becoming more common for our customers to question their increase in water usage.

Our lowest bill guarantee is our promise that you'll always pay the lowest bill when you switch to a meter.

Our lowest bill guarantee applies to all customers who apply for a meter from 4th September 2020 onwards.

The majority of our customers who switch to a meter make a saving on their water bills.

No - if there was already a meter in the property when you moved in then you’ll be charged using your meter readings and you can’t be charged on a non-measured basis (rateable value).

An Automatic Meter Reader (AMR) meter can be read remotely rather than having to visit your home to manually read your meter.

Water meters need to be fitted on your water supply pipe (the pipe which brings water into your home).

You can find this out (along with lots of other interesting facts about your water) by entering your postcode in our water quality search.

It’s really important to know where your internal stop tap is and how to use it.

We try really hard to please our customers, and are always disappointed when we fall short.

Changes in the colour of your water can happen if we're carrying out some improvements to the water pipes in your area, or there's been a pipe burst that we've repaired.

We aim to provide water at the right pressure for day-to-day use.

If you want to replace a lead pipe, you can fill in an online application form or call us on 0345 072 6082.

We’ve made some important changes to our app. You will need to update to the new version of our app (version 1.1.4) by 26th April 2019
