Martin Lewis Money Show: Expert issues water bills warning and reveals how to get money off yours

MARTIN Lewis has told how Brits can get money off their water bill.

Households will see the largest hike in their annual water bills in nearly 20 years when they rise to an average of £448 this spring.

Water UK said the 7.5 per cent increase would see customers pay around £1.23 per day on average, from April in England and Wales.

This is an increase of 8p per day, or an average of £31 more than last year’s charges.

However, money expert Lewis has revealed the ways Brits can slash their bills.

The founder of Money Saving Expert has explained if you live in England or Wales a free water meter is likely to cut your costs.

He told how one person cut their water bill by a staggering £400 by fitting a water meter.

And Brits should use the Water Meter Calculator to see how different elements of their daily water use can be reduced to potentially make further savings.

He also says anyone who has a disability or on benefits should contact their water firm to see if they are eligible for a discount.

There are a number of ways you can slash your water bills in 2023.

Meanwhile moving to a water meter could help some save some extra cash.

However, if you do use a lot of water then it makes no sense to have a meter as your bills could go up.

The Consumer Council for Water offers a free water meter calculator that’ll tell you if you can save by fitting a water meter.
