• Do I need to notify GWMWater when I sell a property or organise a final meter reading?

  The normal procedure is that your solicitor will advise us.

  Your solicitor or conveyancer may organise for a final reading to be done on your meter prior to settlement.

  After settlement they will notify us of the sale via a notice of disposition and pay any outstanding water accounts owing up to the day you sold.

  If you have a current outstanding water bill owing prior to settlement you do not need to pay it. Contact us and a note will be placed on your account to stop a reminder/warning notice from being sent.

  Make sure your mailing address is up to date.

• I'm renting. What charges am I responsible for?

  If you’re in a property with its own water meter, your lease determines if you’re responsible for paying for the water usage. Water usage billing is determined by the reading on the property's water meter.

  If you’re renting a premise where you share a water meter with another property, the usage amount is the responsibility of your landlord.
