Why have a water meter?
Demand for water is on the increase, especially in the garden. Using a sprinkler or a hosepipe without a hose gun attachment will use up to 1000 litres of water an hour – that’s as much as an average family will use in two days. While we understand that every family’s needs differ, at Three Valleys Water we believe that metered charges are a fairer way for customers to pay for the water they use.
More than 300,000 customers have a water meter and you too could benefit. Installing a water meter means that you will only be paying for the water you use. For many customers, that means lower metered water bills compared to non-metered charges. A Water Meter
Your metered bill will be affected by the number of people in your home, how often you use appliances such as washing machines, dishwashers, baths and garden hosepipes and the general condition of your internal pipe-work. To help you decide whether opting for a meter is the right decision for you, click on Water usage calculator to make an audit of your water use.
Remember, installation is free of charge and if you are not satisfied with the benefits of a water meter, you can revert back to non-metered charges within the first 18 months after installation. Click Information on reverting back to non-metered charges for more details.
