Make life easier with a Direct Debit

Why not pay your bill in smaller chunks over the year by setting up a Direct Debit? It's better than paying in one lump sum and we'll even knock £5 off your water bill every year for paying in this way.

The great thing with a Direct Debit is that you can choose a payment plan which is good for you. Get paid every four weeks? Not a problem, you can choose a four-weekly Direct Debit and pick the date you'd like the payment to be made. Prefer weekly payments? We can do that too. Once set up, your payments are taken automatically from your bank account, meaning it's one less thing for you to worry about.

To set up a Direct Debit with us, you will need to register for My Account - our free online service which allows you to view your account online. Once registered, you can access your account at any time to pay your bill, give a meter reading, review your statement and update your personal details. You can even choose to receive your bills electronically rather than by post.

You can register for My Account here.

You will need your account number, your address and your email address to hand.

You can also set up a direct debit by calling us on 0345 672 2999 (if you have a meter) or 0345 672 2888 (no meter). 

Important Notice

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.
