Cheaper with a meter

See how much you could save

First, find out from your water bill how much you currently pay each year. Next, let us know how many people live in your household. We’ll then give you an idea of how much you can save each year with a water meter.

Remember, our lowest bill guarantee means you won’t be worse off during your two year trial and if you don’t make a saving you can switch back to your fixed bill - you can’t lose!

Please note: The calculator below is suitable for customers who pay for water and wastewater services which is the majority of our customers. For the small number of customers who only pay for water services (for example, you have a septic tank which collects your wastewater) we can still work out your saving, please call us on 0345 672 2999.

Cold Weather

After a few freezing cold days in the North West, it looks like the temperature is beginning to rise.

As the weather warms up over the next few days, any frozen pipes in your home will begin to thaw. When this happens, some of your pipes may leak or burst. It's worth taking some steps now to be prepared just in case this happens to you.

  1. Check your pipes in any cold places such as the loft or garage - can you spot any water dripping from the pipe?
  2. Find your stop tap, which is usually under the kitchen sink and turn it clockwise to turn off the water.
  3. Turn off your heating, open all your taps to drain the system quickly.
  4. Soak up any escaping water with towels.
  5. Check with your home insurance company to see if you’re covered for leaks and bursts or call a plumber.
  6. If you need to find a plumber in your area visit www.watersafe.org.uk
  7. If water has leaked near your electrics switch them off at the mains.
