You can, however, switch to a water meter that could save you money as you will only then be charged for the water you actually use. <br> <br> Most households are entitled to have a meter fitted and your water company will not charge you for this. For information about getting a water meter fitted then contact your water company. You can find a link to your company with contact details at the foot of this page.<br> <br> If you need assistance with this, homeenergysaver.com will take the first step for you - all you have to do is spend a few minutes entering your details and we will do the rest. You might be surprised by how much you could save. <br> <br> Just how much a meter can save you money on your water bill will depend on your circumstances and water usage. The average unmetered customer saves on average 5-10% on their water bill after installation of a meter (source: Ofwat). <br> <br> <strong>Help available with metered bills</strong> <br> <br> Water Companies are required to offer help to customers on low incomes who have 3 or more children, or if a member of the household needs to use more water because of a medical condition. Your company will advise you on how to apply for a vulnerable household charge. You will need to provide evidence that you are receiving a means-tested benefit and details about your family.<br> <br> If accepted on the scheme, your annual bills will be a maximum of the average bill for households in your area. Few customers are aware of the scheme so if you think this applies to you, ask the company for advice. <br> <strong><br> Other options - water saving equipment </strong><br> <br> Even if you don't have a water meter and don't plan to have one installed, you can still do your bit for the environment and water consumption by installing water saving equipment and using efficiency measures.<br> <br> <strong>Water saving equipment can include:</strong><br> <br> " Cistern displacement devices that are placed in your toilet cistern and can save up to three litres of water per flush, for example Freddie Frog ,  Hippo and  Save-a-Flush .<br> " Flushing systems that allow you to control the duration of the flush, such as Interflush and Mecon Water Saver.<br> " Flow restrictors that are fitted into existing basins and showers, such as  Tap Magic , which can reduce water wastage by up to 70% whilst still enabling you to have the normal full flow.<br> " Water saving showerheads that reduce water wastage by up to 70% (six and a half litres per minute compared with 18 to 40 for normal showerheads). Be Water Efficient Our top tips for savings on your water bill:<br> " Don't let the tap run while brushing your teeth - you will save almost five litres of water a minute<br> " Before buying a new water appliance, like a dishwasher or washing machine, check for its water efficiency rating.<br> " Have a shower instead of a bath - they use a third of the water it takes to have a bath (*this excludes power showers, which use the same amount of water as a bath)<br> " Avoid using hoses and sprinklers which can use up to 1,000 litres of water per hour - instead, collect rainwater in water butts and buckets for use in the garden.<br> " Fix dripping taps - they can waste as much as 90 litres of water a day!
