Commercial Meter - Payment and Billing
How Do I Pay For The Meter?
On completion of a satisfactory survey:
a) if the Company is to install the meter, (options 1 & 3), a Statement of Cost and Meter Agreement will be sent to you. Payment in full is required before installation can take place.
b) If you are installing the meter, (options 2, 4 & 5), you will be advised of the cost and the time which must elapse following our receipt of your payment and completed Meter Agreement before the meter will be available for collection from the Company's Stores at Havant.
How Long Will I Wait For The Meter To Be Installed?
On receipt of your payment, together with a completed Meter Agreement, subject to certain conditions, the meter will be installed within 15 working days.
How Often Will I Receive A Bill?
The frequency of the meter readings will depend on the size of the meter. The normal size of a meter is ½2" (15mm) and these are usually read at six monthly intervals.
Will Having A Meter Affect My Sewerage Bill?
Once a meter is installed, we will provide your sewerage services provider, normally Southern Water Services Limited with a record of the readings. They will normally base their charges for wastewater on 95% of the consumption recorded by the meter.
If you require any further information on wastewater charges, please contact your provider.
Southern Water Services can be contacted by telephone on 0845 272 0845
