Officials to consider water industry’s consumer watchdog call for single social water tariff
The government faces calls to end the “postcode lottery” for water poverty in England and Wales by creating a social tariff to protect millions of families who struggle to pay for their water bills.
Government officials are expected to review a plan put forward by the water industry’s consumer watchdog that calls for a social water tariff, which would save hard-pressed households from paying more than 5% of their income on water bills.
