Special Meter Reading Requests

If you're purchasing or selling a home that has a water meter, your solicitor/conveyancing agent should arrange for a special water meter reading. This will ensure the unbilled water used by the previous owners is paid up to date.

Have your solicitor request a special meter reading at least 2 weeks before your property's meter reading date. Meter readings are not available on weekends or statutory holidays.

Law firms, notary offices and conveyancing agents can request a special water meter reading for a final reading, and where necessary, cancel any automated utility payment plans related to the property being sold.
