Can I water my garden if I have a meter?

Yes, but customers on metered charges will pay for the water they use. If your meter is fitted as part of our Water Metering Programme, you’ll continue to be billed for your water on a non-metered basis for two years, unless you ask to switch to a metered bill during this period.

It’s important that we all use water wisely. Therefore, we recommend you water your plants in the evening when it’s cooler and use a watering can which uses less water. Alternatively, you might consider installing a water butt. This will store the rainwater collected from your guttering and you can water your plants for free.
