Answers to our most common questions

My bill is higher than usual

There can be a number of reasons why your bill amount is higher than usual. The meter reading my be incorrect or an estimate. You may also have a leak in your pipe or running toilet or dripping taps as well as just using more water. For example, you may have people staying at home, be watering your garden more, using new appliances.

If the water use on your bill seems high or if we have contacted you about this please use our online resource to find out more. If there's a problem with any appliances or pipes on your property, call a licensed plumber.

Also, let us know if paying your account by the due date is going to be difficult by calling us on 1300 SA WATER (1300 729 283), or if you would like help from our specialists.

More than one bill for the same quarter

Sometimes we may send you more than one bill (also known as a rebill) during the same quarter. This could be because you’ve supplied a new meter reading to us. It could also be an adjustment further to your application.

Where SA Water mains abut a property, water and sewer rates apply from 1 July each year irrespective of whether the property is connected to those services.
