We know moving can be a stressful time with lots of things to do.

Take a look at our handy moving house checklist to help you get everything sorted:

• Meter reading
  Take a meter reading on the day of your move for the property you are moving out of and your new home. Your meter is usually installed in the path outside your drive or garden.
• Let us know!
  Complete our form to let us know your moving details. If you're registered with MyAccount then you can update your details quicker here.
• Stop Tap
  It’s a good idea to find out where your internal stop tap is in your new home in case you need to turn off your water. It’s usually found under your kitchen sink.
• Check for leaks
• Manage your account online
  The easiest way to manage and view your account is with our online MyAccount. As soon as you have your customer reference number which can be found on your bill, you can register for My Account and you'll be able to:
• Make payment online
• Let us know you’re moving
• Give a meter reading
• Apply for a water meter
• View payment details and plans

Good luck with your move.

The water bill must be paid unless the supply is turned off. If there is a meter, the bill will be minimal if water is not being used.

If the property becomes vacant after changing hands, we will automatically install a meter.

If there is no meter and you want to keep the supply connected but you don't want to pay the full unmetered charge, you can apply for a meter.  We normally provide meters free of charge.

By having a water meter you are joining over 80% customers benefiting from cheaper water bills. That’s because you’ll only be paying for the water that you use.

Finding your meter
We’ll usually install the meter in the path outside your drive or garden within a chamber. The chamber will have a lid usually labeled ‘meter’ or ‘water’.

Reading your meter
When you’ve found your meter, you may want to use a screwdriver to help lift the lid and a cloth to wipe any dirt so you can see the dials clearly. 

We aim to read your meter every six months, so if we don’t have a meter reading when your bill is due, we’ll send you a bill with an estimated read. If you’re able to provide us with your own reading at this time, we can update your bill based on your reading.

Checking for leaks
It’s much easier to spot leaks when you have a water meter as you can see how much water is being used. It’s therefore important to keep an eye on your water usage, especially if you believe it’s higher than normal.
