Understanding how water metering works

lady looking at her water bill leadOur meters record in cubic metres and measure how much water we've supplied to your home.

This means that when you receive your bill, you pay for the amount of water you've used, plus standing charges and sewerage charges. Charges will normally start from the date we install the meter, and we'll credit or refund any overpayments you've made against your non metered charges.
