Will I benefit from having a meter fitted?


Water and sewerage companies provide advice to customers on whether or not they might benefit from the installation of a meter. Many companies have leaflets/websites which provide this information. Some include a 'ready reckoner' which will calculate an approximate annual water usage and the metered charge for this amount, and compare this figure with the current unmetered bill. Customers who consume low volumes of water and/or have high rateable values may find that they have lower water and sewerage bills as a result of paying on a measured basis.

For more information on metering please see our information note.
