If you pay by direct debit we will send you a bill twice a year. If you pay by another method, you will receive your bill every month. You must pay the full balance within 10 working days of receiving the bill. We understand that sometimes it can be difficult to manage your finances, so if you’re having problems paying your bills please contact us as soon as possible to discuss other payment options. We are here to help.

If your bill is based on an estimated meter reading, if you provide us with an accurate reading, we can update your bill right away and you’ll see your new balance.
