Once you submit we’ll send an automatic change of address notification to Southern Water, who we are directly integrated with. This will take care of the first part of the southern water moving house process.
They will then reach-out within 2-4 weeks to confirm your address change or home setup. You’ll then need to either pay your final bill if you’re leaving or setup payment details if you’re moving into the area from another provider, say Thame Water, for example.
If you’re moving within the area, then you will usually keep on paying your DD. However, this may change based on your current payment plan and if your new/previous property has a water meter.
