Apply for help with your water bills
If you’re in arrears your water company may be able to offer help through a charitable trust. These independent trusts take applications from people who need help through a short period of financial difficulty, and may help to give you a fresh start.
Other schemes may be able to cap your charges for ongoing water use, or allow you to pay for your water bills directly from your benefits and receive a discount.
