Moving home is stressful enough, but you don’t want to forget about your water connections! Follow these simple steps to ensure your move is as smooth as possible:
When you move home, it is important to organise a meter reading so that you are not charged for the previous tenant’s water usage. Ensure you call the relevant water corporation at least 48 hours before you move into the home. If you are buying a home, your conveyancer will organise this for you.
You will have to fill out a moving out application when you move out of your current home, this will ensure your meter is read so that your final account can be calculated.
Each area of your state may have a different water body looking after it. See below for links to the information for your state:

You don’t have to pay anything to get your water connected. If you are renting, you only need to pay for your usage. If you are a home owner, you will also need to pay for service to property charges on top of your usage.
