When to send

At least a week before the new rate applies, ideally at the start of a billing month.

Tips

  • Write the new rate per litre in words or numbers in the message; customers check it.
  • Apply the new rate from the 1st, not mid-month.
  • Update the amount in FeeSend before the next bill.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Raising the rate without telling customers and surprising them with a bigger bill.
  • Changing rates for some houses and not others.
