Water Bills in England and Wales to Rise
Average water and sewerage bills in England and Wales will rise by 5.7% from April to about £376 per household. The average figure disguises variations between water and sewerage firms, with customers at Southern seeing an 8.2% rise and those at Dwr Cymru 3.8%. In 2009 the industry regulator, Ofwat, announced a five-year plan of annual rises from 2010 to 2015 to help fund £22bn of investments.
