Our charges
Our charges are set annually according to price limits agreed with Ofwat, the industry regulator, every five years.
Charges for 2024-25
To help you plan ahead, our charges are increasing from 1 April 2024. Inflation remains high and we are investing more than ever in our services. This means a combined water and sewerage bill for a two-person household with a water meter, may increase by around £5 per month. A typical household bill for those not on a meter may increase by around £8 per month. Price rises are always unwelcome so we can help with your water bill if you are struggling to pay. Find out more about the bill increase and what this could mean for you.
In addition, we offer advice on how to save water and money. If you’re not on a meter, find out how much you could save by using our estimated water bill calculator.
Some customers in our region who receive water or sewerage services from other providers may see different bill increases.
