Why are bills going up?


There are four main reasons for the increase:
  • Increased running costs arising from changes to taxation, pension and energy costs and legislative changes;
  • Increased activity necessary to maintain the asset network and improve security of supply to ensure no deterioration in services;
  • Further improvements to drinking water quality and the environment required by Ministers; and
  • Significant reductions in sewer flooding.

Bills will be as high as they need to be but no higher than they have to be.
