North West water bills to fall by GBP16

03 March 2010

We can confirm that nearly three million people in the North West will be £16 better off when their water bills arrive.

Average bills will be in the region of £359 when taking into account a 0.03 per cent rise in inflation. 

Last month we announced a five-year investment plan worth GBP3.6 billion for the North West region's water and sewerage infrastructure.

Chief Executive, Philip Green said: "This will be some good news for our customers amid the economic gloom.

"Our massive investment plans are especially good news for the region's economy, jobs and for construction firms.

"We have a wide range of projects in our future plans, from major pipeline replacements and flood protection schemes through to improvements to the security and reliability of clean water and wastewater services."
