Average UK water bills are set to rise 26% from April, the biggest ever increase for households and business still feeling the sting of a cost-of-living crisis.
The industry association Water UK announced details of the hike, which is adjusted to inflation, following industry regulator Ofwat’s final price determinations in December. The average bill nationally will increase by £123 ($152.93) from April 1 to £603 per household, a record level.
