How you are billed
You're responsible for paying water charges if you live in a property in our supply area. Find out more about bill responsibility.
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 went 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.
Metered customers
Every six months, we'll send you a bill that covers the supply of clean water and the treatment of wastewater.
Wastewater customers
Depending on where you live and who supplies your tap water, you might receive a combined bill or two separate ones.
