Your Water Rates and Chargers At Northumbrian Water
At Northumbrian Water, water chargers are split into two parts: sewerage services and water supply. Here are some things to consider when it comes to water rates in Northumbria.
Metered: Your water usage will be based on meter readings and how many cubic metres of water you use.
Unmetered: If your premises doesn’t have a water meter, you’ll pay unmetered charges based on rateable value.
Surface Water Drainage: You’ll need to pay for the rainwater that is drained from your premises. This may be included as part of your sewerage charge.
Why Businesses Are Switching Water Provider?
Rising fixed charges from Northumbrian Water are pushing up bills, even for low-usage businesses. With Ofwat approving up to a 21% increase in household rates by 2029/30, many expect similar rises for commercial customers.
The situation is further complicated by six major suppliers, including Northumbrian Water, appealing Ofwat’s pricing decisions, fuelling uncertainty across the sector. As costs climb and regulatory tensions grow, more businesses are switching to secure better rates and greater billing transparency.
