Domestic Metering Application Form

 Leakage from Private Pipework - Prior to installation of a meter and connection to a water main, your pipework is tested for leaks. However, once a meter has been fitted you are responsible for paying or the water that passes through the meter.  

If your supply pipe is shared by other properties, it may be necessary to separate your supply to enable the connection to a water main and fitting of a meter. A charge may be made for this - you will be informed of this when we visit. 

Historically some properties used the metallic water supply pipes as a means of electrical earthing. This is no longer permitted. If you believe that you have metal pipework coming into your property that may be used as a means of earthing, then you are advised to have this checked first. Please contact Guernsey Electricity. 

There is no charge for the installation of a meter. Water charges for metered payments commence on the date of installation. The metered water charge consists of a standard quarterly charge plus a 
unit cost for each cubic metre of water used. A schedule of quarterly charges is available from Guernsey Water.
