1. Metered customers – submit meter readings
To ensure your bills are as accurate and up-to-date as possible, it’s important to send us regular meter readings.
If you send us monthly reads, we can include these in your next invoice— about a week before your billing date should do the trick. You may win £100 account credit*, too! Click here to submit a read today – or, if you're unsure how to read your meter, watch our short video.
We will still send our team out to read your meters twice a year.
2. Flush through your supply safely to avoid spreading harmful diseases
For many businesses, water usage has dramatically reduced over the last few months, meaning water in the system will have been stagnant for some time.
The longer water is in pipes, the more chance it has of picking up harmful substances, or bacteria like Legionella spreading.
You can follow our simple steps to flush your supply safely on our blog.
3. If you still have alcohol to dispose of, make sure you do so correctly
