Monthly Payment Plan

The Monthly Payment Plan covers the annual metered water charges. Any outstanding charges will be added to the first eleven payments. Your meter(s) will continue to be read at the normal time and you will receive statements for information. We will review your account and the amount you pay each month at regular intervals. We will then let you know if your monthly payment needs to be amended. If you owe us money, the amount may be included in the monthly payment for the coming year. Alternatively, you can pay the balance immediately and pay a lower monthly amount. If we owe you money, the amount will be taken into account in the monthly payment for the coming year. Alternatively, you may have the credit amount refunded in which case your future monthly payment may be higher. The monthly payment quotation will normally cover the period of twelve months to the next annual review. If it becomes apparent during the course of the year that the amount outstanding on your account requires a significant amendment to your monthly payment, an interim review may occur.
