- You are a current Yorkshire Water customer and will be leaving that the area supplied by Yorkshire Water
- You will remain existing customer, you’re just moving within Yorkshire Water’s geography
In both cases you need to let Yorkshire Water know you’ve moved house.
Firstly, this will ensure you get an accurate bill. By letting them know when you moved out you will prevent the accrual of additional charges. if you are due a refund you will also be paid that.
Secondly, it will prevent a utilities overlap in which you are paying for both water providers at the same time.
And finally, this will help with your data protection security. As a home mover the last thing you want is your mail going to someone else.
