Important changes for customers who pay at the Post Office

From 1st April 2008 you will no longer be able to pay your water services bill using your Payment Card at a Post Office.

However, you will be able to use your card to make payments at any PayPoint outlet free of charge.

You can continue to pay using your payment slip at the Post Office however the counter fee which is currently £2.35 will still apply.  For more information please click on the link.

You can change your payment method online.

If you are having difficulties paying your bill, don't ignore it - talk to us. We want to help and our trained staff will discuss the best payment method to suit your situation.
