What to expect:

• The work will be completed over two visits from our contractors.
• The contractors will knock on your door to let you know they will turn your water off.
• Your water will be switched off for about an hour while the contractor prepares the installation, and again when the water meter is installed, for about 10 minutes.
• When your water is turned back on you could experience air in the pipe or some residue when you first turn on your tap, this is normal and the tap should be left open for a short time until any air/residue subsides.
• Any digging in the area will be backfilled and reinstated upon completion of the installation.
• If your connection is meter ready and or has an existing water meter installed, it will be checked for suitability and modified if required.
• If your water toby is inside your property it will be removed and a new toby will be installed outside of your property boundary at the new meter location.
• If the connection to your property is on a right-of-way, we will undertake the required works pursuant to section 181(4) of the Local Government Act 2002. Once onsite our contractor will assess your situation to determine the best place and method to install the meter.
• If you share a private water pipe with your neighbour(s), a single shared meter will be installed.
• If you are not connected to the town water supply, a water meter will not be installed at your property.
• If you are on a restricted flow (trickle feed), nothing changes with your supply or how you pay, but a meter will still be installed.

NPDC will undertake these works at no cost to you and in a manner that causes minimal disturbance.

To avoid doubt, nothing changes how you currently pay for your water supply. The exception is extraordinary supplies (like those with swimming pools) which are already required to pay by volume.

We will provide more detail at a later date about water billing.
