Simpler Water Meter Pricing Explained!
Simpler Pricing Meter Alterations is an initiative to move to an equitable user-pays system giving business customers greater control over their water and sewerage bills.
From October 2021, non-residential customers are able to submit a Hydraulic Assessment Report which reviews the number and size of water meters servicing their property and then apply to alter their metering configuration by disconnecting or downsizing their meter to reduce their bill cost.
