When to let us know you've moved
If either your current or new properties have a water meter:
- Let us know up to two days in advance of your 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.
- Our aim is to make your move as easy as possible for you and understand you may not have your final meter reading. Don't worry, in such cases, we will calculate a reading based on your past usage. For customers who need extra help, we have the option of a meter reader to visit the property before you move out, making sure an actual meter reading is taken. Please tell us at least 21 working days in advance if you want to book an appointment.
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.
