Suppliers expected to charge average 6% more from April despite public anger at underinvestment and sewage dumping
Water companies have been urged to invest their profits in cutting bills to “rebuild” trust in the tarnished industry, as suppliers in England and Wales announced costs would jump from April.
Water UK, the industry trade body, said bills would increase by 6% or £2 a month on average next financial year – far more than the current 4% inflation rate.
