My Accounts
Please call our Customer Service team on 1300 086 489 to discuss linking your accounts.
Accounts can only be linked if they are in the same name or you have full authority on the account.
Sometimes when a business account is set up it is only in the business name and no individual person (e.g. director) has been authorised.
Please complete the online form here to add yourself or any other authorisers to the business account and please state you would like this linked to your residential account. Alternatively, you can complete the Company Account Authority Request Form (PDF 260KB).
Please note: Accounts can only be linked if the full name of the authoriser is exactly the same on each property.

My Usage
The ‘My Usage’ page in My Account features a handy online tool to compare your current daily water usage with your water usage from previous bills. It provides you with a personalised water usage graph that gives you an instant view of how much water is being used at your property daily. This will also help you control your bills.
It’s easy to use – just follow these simple steps:
1. Take a reading of your water meter, usually found at the front of your property inside an in-ground meter box or just above the ground.
2. Write down the date and the numbers shown on the water meter – kilolitres (black numbers) only.
3. Login to My Account and go to the ‘My Usage’ page, then enter the following details:
• Date of the metering reading
• Meter reading number - kilolitres (black numbers) only.
• Number of people living at your property – this will enable you to compare your daily water usage with the regional average for other households of the same size.
• Click on the ‘Update tracker’ button - this will automatically update your personalised ‘Usage Tracker’ graph displayed on screen.
The dark blue line shows the regional average daily water usage (in litres) for residential households of the same size (number of people) as your property, so you can compare your water usage with similar households.
The orange line shows your average daily water usage (in litres) for your last four quarterly bills, then plots your current daily water usage for the meter reading you have just entered.
• If the orange line is above the dark blue line, you are using more than the regional average for households of the same size (number of people).
• If the orange line is below the dark blue line, you are using less than the regional average.

As well as keeping an eye on your usage, you can also obtain a bill estimate, which can help you manage your bills and identify leaks.
On the 'My Usage' page, enter the date, your meter reading and the number of people in your household. Based on your bill history and average water use, a bill estimate will be generated.

Make sure you enter the kilolitre numbers only. These are usually the black numbers on the water meter - not the red numbers or the red dials.
Here are some common reasons for higher than expected water usage:
• Visitors or more people living at your house
• Renovations or building work
• Extra garden watering and pool top-ups in hot dry weather
• Automatic watering systems and tank top-up devices set too high or not working properly
• Leaking taps, running toilets and concealed leaks hidden in walls, driveways or underground.
We recommend you check for concealed leaks regularly. To find out how, watch our How to read your meter video.

During the sale of a property, the buyer's conveyancing solicitor requests a Unitywater Search Certificate in order to identify and calculate all the previous owner's/seller's charges up until the property’s settlement or hand-over date. Once the settlement occurs, the conveyancing solicitor should send payment for the previous owner's charges directly to Unitywater. Read more about what happens when you buy or sell a property.
