Switch to a water meter and save

You cannot switch water suppliers, but you can switch to a meter and pay for what you use. If you use less water than the average amount for a home your size, you will be better off with a meter.

How Susie saved by switching

Smart Susie doesn’t use much water. Although she has a large house, she lives alone, takes showers, puts on a load of washing once a week, eats out regularly and never waters the garden. Her toilet is dual flush and she turns the tap off while brushing her teeth.

Her neighbours, the Wasteful Watsons, live in a similar sized house, but churn through the water. The kids take baths, the husband is forever watering the garden, and the wife washes her car every week. They leave the tap on while brushing their teeth and have an old fashioned single flush toilet.

Smart Susie realised she was paying too much for her water. She was paying the same as the Wasteful Watsons, just because their properties were a similar value. So, she switched to a water meter and now pays for what she uses.
