Take your meter reading

On the day of your move, take a meter reading for the property you are moving out of and at your new home. Your meter is usually installed in the path outside of your drive or in the garden.

Find your stop tap

It’s a good idea to find out where your internal stop tap is in your new home just in case you need to turn off your water. It’s usually found under your kitchen sink.
