We'll cap your bill, if you receive income-related benefits and have a large family, or if you receive income-related benefits and have a medical condition that uses a lot of water.
Our bill cap scheme, WaterSure is here to ease those worries.
We'll cap your metered charges, so if you need to use more water than the average household, for reasons that can't be helped, we'll cap your metered charges.
WaterSure is available to any qualifying customer.
