Answers to our most common questions

My bill is higher than usual

There can be a number of reasons why your bill amount is higher than usual. The meter reading my be incorrect or an estimate. You may also have a leak in your pipe or running toilet or dripping taps as well as just using more water. For example, you may have people staying at home, be watering your garden more, using new appliances.

If the water use on your bill seems high or if we have contacted you about this please use our online resource to find out more. If there's a problem with any appliances or pipes on your property, call a licensed plumber.
