How you are billed

Every year, we follow guidance from our regulator Ofwat on our charges. We also consult CCW, the voice for water consumers.

Your bill is then worked out based on the charging rules and service you receive from us.

On average our charges will go up by 12.3% on 1 April 2024. This includes inflation, which is affected by energy prices. It also includes adjustments for our past performance.

How different customers are billed

We go through how each of our customers are billed from unmetered, metered and wastewater.

Unmetered customers

As you don't have a water meter, we'll work out your clean and wastewater charges based on the rateable value of your property.
