Start the New Year right
Starting the New Year is the perfect opportunity to get organised and take control of your business water account. With these 10 easy tips, you can avoid unexpected water charges, improve billing accuracy, and manage your business water usage more efficiently throughout 2026. Reduce admin, keeping you informed, and your business utilities running smoothly.
1. Submit meter readings regularly
Providing regular meter readings ensures your business water bills are accurate and based on actual usage rather than estimates. Submitting monthly readings helps maintain billing accuracy, setting a reminder each month can make this quick and hassle-free. Castle Water customers can easily submit a reading through the portal here.
2. Check your account details
Make sure your contact information is always up to date. Having an accurate email address, phone number, and postal address ensures you receive important billing information, reminders, and updates without any delay. This is crucial for effective business water management.
3. Review your bills
Taking a few minutes to review your business water charges can help you spot any changes early. Understanding what you’re being billed for makes it easier to manage your account and raise queries early. We want to ensure you can make sense of your charges. Explore Castle Water’s bill explainer to get clearer insights into your commercial water services.
4. Set up a Direct Debit
Using Direct Debit payments is an efficient way to manage business utilities. It keeps payments on track, helps with cash flow planning, and reduces manual admin. Castle Water’s portal guide walks you through setting it up.
5. Understand your billing schedule
Knowing when your water bills are issued and when payments are due helps prevent late fees and keeps your business water account running smoothly. This is especially useful for businesses with seasonal water usage or fluctuating activity.
6. Monitor your business water usage
Staying on top of your business water consumption allows you to spot unusual patterns, leaks, or sudden increases. Small issues caught quickly can prevent higher costs later in the year. The portal displays a graph of your water usage over the year so you can compare trends, identify inefficiencies, and support long-term water efficiency.
7. Report changes to your business

8. Check your portal regularly
The online portal brings all your water account management tools together. Having your bills, meter readings, and account details all in one place makes it easier to track usage, manage queries, and stay organised throughout the year.
