Forgot to set up water bill when I started renting 7 months ago

There was a lot going on at the time and I didn’t get in contact with the water company to set up my bill. I did sort electric and gas so I’ve not got a clue what happened with the water!

I only just realised when I wondered why I hadn’t received a water bill yet after speaking to the landlord (who used to live in the property) who said they got one every 6 months.

I’ve checked with the landlord and they submitted a reading before I moved in so do I just contact the water company and explain the situation and set up my account now and I can then send them the current reading?
