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 any time within 2 years if you’re unhappy with the change (except for customers of in areas of England where compulsory metering is introduced).

If a meter cannot be fitted, companies can offer an alternative unmeasured tariff which may be lower than the current bill.
