From the 1st April 2023, water bills, including waste water bills, are increasing by up to 20% depending on your supplier. Here’s all you need to know.
Wholesale water charges have increased across the board in England and Scotland, with suppliers having to charge more for it. This covers both measured and unmeasured wholesale charges, wastewater/sewerage charges, and trade effluent charges.
