When to let us know you've moved
If either your current or new properties have a water meter:
- Let us know on or after the day you move.
- Remember to take a final or opening reading on the day you move. We can then bill you for what you have used whilst you were responsible.
- If you are unable to take a reading yourself, please let us know 10 working days before you move. We can then arrange for a meter reader to visit on the day you move, to take a reading on your behalf.
If either your current or new properties do not have a water meter:
- You can let us know up to 14 days before you move home, if you live chat or call us.
