Making Water Charges Affordable

How we charge There are 4 methods: Unmeasured based on Rateable Value of the property Before 1 April 1990 Unmeasured based on Uniform Service Charge 1 April 1990 – 31 March 2000 Metered based on actual consumption recorded by a water meter Since 1 April 2000 Metered based on an Assessed Measured Charge (£304 - £505) Number of Occupants Number of Appliances that use water

Annual Charge capped at £190 Our HelpU Tariff For customers with a low household income The total household income determines eligibility. The tariff is available for measured and unmeasured domestic customers. Total household income must be £15,000 or less Our definition of total household income means all income of everyone over the age of 16 living in the household and should include, but is not limited to, the following: All take home pay All pensions received (e.g. state pensions, private, widows/spousal, occupational pensions, non-occupational) All unemployment benefits received All maintenance payments/child support payments etc. Child Tax Credits Child Benefit Working Tax Credits Pension Credits Student grants (not loans) Interest from savings and investments Annual Charge capped at £190 NB DLA, PIP and Housing Benefit are NOT to be included as income.

Our WaterSure Wales Tariff For customers that WaterSure Wales is only available to metered customers. The customer must be in receipt of one of the following benefits/credits:   Universal Credit Housing Benefit Income Support Income related Employment and Support Allowance Income based JSA Working Tax Credit Child Tax Credit Pension Credit Disability Living Allowance Personal Independence Payment AND be in receipt of Child Benefit for 3 or more children, under the age of 19 who all live at the premises and are in full time education OR  be able to evidence to us that someone living at the property is diagnosed as suffering from a medical condition which causes them to use a significant additional amount of water. Annual Charge capped at £308

What else is there? Customers that receive certain benefits from the DWP can arrange to have their water charges paid direct to us. Those that take the opportunity will receive a £25 discount each year. Customers in debt can apply for our Customer Assistance Fund. If they meet the criteria, by paying their ongoing charges for a year they can see their arrears disappear. Whatever the circumstances, talking to us gives us the opportunity to help!
