Back on track

Help for customers who are struggling to pay their water bill

If you’re experiencing financial difficulties and worried about paying your water bill, we may be able to offer you some extra help with our Back on Track scheme.

The scheme is suitable for customers either receiving benefits, or on a low income and finding it difficult to pay their bill following a recent change in financial circumstances (such as redundancy or a reduction in current income).

Depending on your individual circumstances your water bill will be capped at a lower amount for the year. To be eligible for the scheme you will need to provide details about your household income for us to assess how much you can afford to pay.
