New funding comes as cost of living crisis leaves more people struggling to pay bills
The water company Severn Trent has launched a £30m financial support package to help a further 100,000 of its customers, as it warns that the cost of living crisis means more people are struggling to pay their water bill.
The Coventry-headquartered company, which supplies more than 8 million customers across a region stretching from the Bristol Channel to the Humber and from mid-Wales to the east Midlands, said it had the second-lowest water bills in England at £389 a year.
