Water meters are an easy way to lower your bill. Find out if a water meter can save you money, apply online for one, and, if you already a meter, we'll show you how to find and read it.
A water meter could save you an average of £264 a year and reduce your water use by up to 20%. Plus, saving water helps protect our local environment.

If your agreement is for less than six months, you need your landlord's permission to apply. Download our landlord permission form (PDF, 150KB) and email it to webbill@nwl.co.uk -
Please include your name, address and account number, if you know it, so we can process your application quickly.
Our water bill is £18 monthly, we don't skimp on usage, although we shower rather than fill the bath. We use a fair amount of water in the garden in summer too. Definitely better with a meter.
I’m down to £16 on a meter. Two of us are in the house. Moved to a meter about 8 years ago. Couldn’t recommend it more. The website is very easy to use, giving you the information you need.
I am single and save a huge amount. My bill has halved, at the very least...fantastic.
Moving an internal water meter, on the other hand, may be possible.
We must agree that you can move the meter, and we'll carry out a free survey to make sure your pipework allows for the meter to be moved. Charges may be payable, if any work is carried out.
You can then hire an approved WaterSafe plumber (opens new window) to carry out the work.
Please be aware that if your meter supplies more than one property, there may be charges to move that meter.
We can discuss charges with you at any point through this process, so you know exactly what is going on.
