If your account is overdue, we will send you a notice requesting payment within 14 days. If payment is not received, recovery action will commence which may result in a restricted water supply, debt collection and/or legal action.
We will not restrict your water supply if:
- You have agreed alternative payment arrangements with us for an overdue account
- There is an unresolved dispute to an amount owing on your account
- If you are on our Special Needs Register we will not restrict your supply unless we have first contacted you and taken all reasonable steps to come to an alternative arrangement with you.
If payment for the account and reconnection is received before 3pm Monday to Friday, water supply will be restored to the property within three hours. If payments are not made before 5pm, there may be delays before water supply will be restored. An additional charge may also be applied.
Customer contract changes
Changes to the billing cycle
Later this year meter reading and customer invoicing will change from a 3 monthly cycle to monthly meter reading/consumption estimates when Veolia moves to a new account management system.
Instead of receiving a bill from Veolia every 3 months, customers will receive a monthly bill based on an actual meter reading or an estimated reading on a read-estimate-read cycle.
We are making this change to:
- align our billing approach with the rest of the Auckland region.
- make it easier for our customers to monitor their water usage
- detect water leaks sooner
Veolia’s Customer Service Charter and Contract will change to reflect the new meter reading and billing cycle by:
- Replacing clause 5.2 of the customer contract with the following:
- 5.2 Invoices / payments
We will send you a bill every month for all water and wastewater services and other associated charges. Your bill will be based on either:- A meter reading taken from the meter measuring the supply of water to your premises; or
- An estimate of the water supplied to you since the meter was last read.
- There will be 1 invoice for each meter.
- We will send the invoice either to your email address or postal address (as notified by you)
- You agree to pay in full the amount you owe us on or before the due date for payment shown on the invoice.
- Charges associated with new connections and IGCs will be billed separately.
- 5.2 Invoices / payments
- Removing the customer service charter paragraph on billing (page 12)
- Billing is every three months (or monthly for high quantity users and based on meter readings unless we cannot access your meter or the meter has stopped. In these cases, an estimate account based on typical consumption is provided.
A change to the Customer Contract requires Veolia to:
- advise customers in writing at least 60 days before the proposed change comes into effect
- Give customers at least 30 days to object to the change
- Meet with objectors to discuss their objections and try to reach an agreement on the change
- Publish details of any final changes at least 20 days before they come into effect
