If you have a water meter fitted, it is important to check this regularly to avoid receiving an unexpected high bill due to a leak. We usually take two meter readings a year to calculate your bills. If you have difficulty reading your meter yourself, we can arrange extra help for you by reading it an additional two more times in a year. We can even relocate the meter, if we are able to do so, so you can read it yourself more easily. Just let us know. If you do not have a meter and would like one you can apply for one.

We maintain a register of home dialysis users in the Bristol Water area. This means that if there are any planned disruptions to your water supply, you are notified in advance and alternative arrangements can be made.

The register is compiled from information supplied by local health authorities or patients living in the Bristol Water supply area. Please make sure you check you are on the register if you have just started home dialysis. If we need to turn off your water for any reason, we will deliver free bottled water to you and keep in touch with you about when the supply is back on.

If you have a need that means it may take a while for you to answer the door don’t worry, we will wait for you.  You can set up a password and we’ll use it every time we visit you. Always make sure your password is unique to you.

If one of our team needs to visit your home, remember to ask to see their identity card before you let them inside your home. For more security support please visit and look at our Customer Core Information and see our information on scams.
