How do you determine the amount of water I use if I do not have a meter?

If a customer does not have a water meter, Yorkshire Water typically estimates water usage based on the property's council tax band. This estimation is derived from average consumption figures that correlate with the size of the household and the number of occupants. Each council tax band has a predetermined average consumption level, which is used to calculate the estimated bill for customers without a meter. Yorkshire Water applies a standard charge for unmetered properties, which reflects these estimates. However, it is essential to note that many households might have different usage habits, which can lead to discrepancies in the estimated amounts. For customers considering a meter, Yorkshire Water offers a free installation of a water meter in most cases. This can provide a more accurate representation of actual water usage, potentially leading to more savings on water bills if usage is lower than the standard charge. If one wants to explore their specific situation or is interested in obtaining more information on average water consumption rates or the benefits of switching to a meter, visiting the Yorkshire Water website can be an excellent starting point for current details and guidance.
