This isn’t coming to pass by mere coincidence, however. Welsh Water recently landed in hot water amid reports of the company violating regulations hundreds of times since 2018. As a result of this, Welsh Water faced substantial legal penalties.
Further statements from the water company allege that price dips from April onward are emerging to help citizens struggling with living expenses. CFO Mike Davis even expressed that customers having financial difficulties should reach out to Welsh Water to get help and explore their options.
Davis maintains that because his company doesn’t bear any responsibility for shareholder dividends, it has more resources to assist “thousands more” Brits having a hard time paying their monthly dues.
In light of the latest projections, Welsh residents can expect their monthly water bills to pan out to £492 on average after March.
A different story for other water companies
Welsh Water customers may be in for a slight reprieve, but the same can’t be said for UK residents reliant on other providers. Companies like Severn Trent and Hafren Dyfrdwy, for instance, anticipate price upticks by as much as £41.
