Readings
Present – the most recent meter reading or estimate we have taken.
Previous – the last date the meter was read, before the ‘present’ reading or estimate.
Types of meter reads
Some of these terms may appear on your bill under ‘reading type’:
Estimate – readings that we have estimated, taking into account your previous water
consumption.
Cyclic – readings that we have taken directly from the meter dial, as part of our standard
meter reading cycles.
Wholesaler – readings that have been taken by the water and/or sewerage wholesaler
in your region and distributed to us.
Smart Meter – readings that we have taken from your meter remotely, via bluetooth
technology.
Volume used – cubic metres (m³) – the amount of water you have used since your last bill
(a cubic meter is approx. 220 gallons).
Water allowance (m³) – the amount of water usage registered on a sub meter (if you have
sub meters on your site).
Chargeable water volume (m³) – the amount of volume used minus any water allowance.
Volume used year to date (m³) – the calculated amount of water used from 1 April up until
the bill date
Chargeable sewerage volume – sewerage is charged at 90%, but a 10% reduction is

applied as not all water used returns to the sewer. This allows for ‘loss’ of water through
evaporation when cooking, drinking, watering plants etc.
If you are able to show us that less than 90% of the water you use is returned to the
sewers, please contact us to discuss a reduction in your sewerage allowance.

Volumetric charge – the amount of water we have supplied to your property in this period.

The annual fixed charge is divided into the number of days in the year. The number of days
covered by your bill determines how much of the fixed charge is payable.

This is based on the amount of wastewater that we have treated once it has left your
property. The volume is calculated at 90% of the water you have used or at your agreed
reduction.
Fixed charge – contributes to the cost of collecting and treating the foul water (sewerage)
that leaves your property.
The annual fixed charge is divided into the number of days in the year. The number of days
covered by your bill, determines how much of the fixed charge is payable.
