Should I get a water meter fitted?

If you are thinking of getting a water meter fitted, use our water meter calculator to see if it would save you money on your water bill.

Water companies install meters for free, and you can switch back to the unmetered charge within two years if you’re unhappy with the change (except for customers of in areas of England where compulsory metering is introduced).

If a meter can’t be fitted, your water company may offer an alternative unmeasured tariff, known as an ‘assessed charge,’ which could be lower than your current bill.
