South East Water is rolling out its Customer Metering Programme to residents in Whitstable and the surrounding areas.
The company will be fitting meters for customers in the town and neighbouring villages, if one is not already installed, when the programme arrives there in the spring.
The programme began in Kent five years ago and has been progressing through the county on a street by street basis. By 2020, South East Water will have installed 375,000 water meters in total which means almost 90 per cent of customers in its region will pay metered charges.
Oluseyi Onifade, South East Water’s Metering Manager said:
“By moving to a water meter, customers will have control over their water usage. Once we introduce the metered charge, like gas and electricity bills, customers only pay for what they use. And, if they use water wisely and don’t waste it, they could also see their water bills reduce.”
The water company is holding a drop in session later this week offering customers the chance to meet the team, find out more about the metering and financial help for customers who may have difficulty paying their bills.
