Rule of thumb to cut expenses
Martin Lewis' Money Saving Expert has unveiled a simple "rule of thumb" that could potentially save millions of households in the UK over £1,000 a year on water bills.
While you may not be able to switch your water provider, there are still ways to reduce expenses, especially as water bills continue to rise.
Install a water meter for potential savings
The key tip shared by Money Saving Expert is that if you have more bedrooms in your house than people, installing a water meter could lead to significant savings on your water bills.
Having a water meter allows you to pay only for the water you use, giving you more control over your expenses.
Other ways to save on water bills
If a water meter doesn't work for you, you can request an assessed bill based on the property size or number of occupants in the house.
Additional help is available for those struggling to pay water bills, including schemes to clear debts, checking bills for accuracy, and exploring refunds for services not used.
Get extra assistance
Customers on meters who have difficulty reducing water use may qualify for programs like WaterSure, which caps bills for individuals claiming certain benefits and dealing with illnesses.
Water companies also offer free water-saving devices and reduced tariffs for low-income households.
