A CCW report reveals 40% of households in England and Wales may struggle with rising water bills.

The Consumer Council for Water (CCW) has reported that 40% of households in England and Wales may struggle to pay increased water bills set to rise between 2025 and 2030. The proposed average increase is 21%, funding £88 billion for service improvements. The CCW advocates for a single social tariff to ensure water affordability and notes that support for investments declines when customers consider higher bills. Concerns are particularly pronounced in Wales, where nearly half of respondents anticipate difficulty affording the increases.
