The Timaru District Council installs water meters on industrial and commercial properties and other sites as required.

Meters are installed to:

• measure and charge for water
• encourage water conservation
• give data for system design and analysis

All water that passes through a meter is charged for including all leakage and wasted water.

If you are metered it is recommended that you establish a routine for reading the meter weekly to minimise the possibility of paying for leakage.

Our staff will assist with locating leakage if requested on a case by case basis.

Invoices are sent six monthly for smaller consumers and two monthly for larger consumers.

When a commercial or industrial property is sold a final reading of the water meter must be made.
