Spreading the cost of your bill
If you need help paying your bills and think that spreading the cost could make a difference, then we can set up a payment plan for you easily over the phone.
Setting up a payment plan
Here’s how it will happen:
- Start by taking a meter reading.
- Then call us on 0330 303 0277.
- We’ll take a payment over the phone for the water you’ve used since your last bill.
- We’ll start the payment scheme from your next payment due date.
- The amount you’ll pay once the payment plan is in place will be visible on the bill
- Once you’re on the payment plan, there’s a chance we might need to readjust the amount you’re paying, such as for the following reasons:
- How much you’ve used over the year and what we think you’ll use over the coming year.
- If you owe us any money, or are in credit with us.
- You’ve been clearing a debt over the past year, haven’t used any more water than was expected, and so will need to pay less in future.
