    The water COMPANY (not board, as a prevous person called them) will often accept you telling them up to 28 days in advance. If metered - just take an updated reading on the day.
  • I wrote a long list of who to notify which I got from the internet, I also added 3 further columns to indicate how I’d contacted supplier:
    1st column - contact made by email/phone/letter/online etc., 
    2nd column- date I made contact
    3rd column - indicated if the supplier had acknowledged the change, ie confirmation from email, or letter etc., and date received. 
    Was handy as I could look back at list after a few months and double check that everyone had confirmed the change or follow up if I hadn’t heard.

    Yes, my mistake, in England now they're mostly, maybe all, companies now rather than boards.
