Charges for properties with water meters
Water meters record the amount of water you’ve used. In the table below, you’ll see how we charge per cubic metre. One cubic metre is a thousand litres, or put simply, it’s about the amount you’d use if you took 11 baths, or 31 showers (each lasting four minutes), or flushed the loo 166 times (using the large button).
