Call You and Yours: Are you getting good value for money from your water company?

Available for over a year

On today's Call You and Yours we're talking about water. In England and Wales, water bills are rising by more than inflation. They'll go up by an average of six per cent in April - that's around £27 per bill. The water companies say that rising prices will help fund investment to stop raw sewage being dumped into rivers and seas. Last year, bills increased by 7.5% so that brings the average bill per household up to £473. The price rises will put further pressure on households already struggling with the cost of living. In Scotland, water and waste charges will go up by 8.8%, a rise of £36 for customers there. And in Northern Ireland, there is an ongoing consultation into water charges. We'd like to hear about your experience where you live. Are you getting good value for money from your water company? We want to hear your stories - both good and bad. Call us on 03700 100 444.
