Business Water
Your business now has the freedom to select its own water supplier, ensuring optimal service and pricing for your water needs. This is thanks to the open water market, which gives UK businesses the choice to switch away from their default regional provider. Our team is here to provide comprehensive guidance and assistance in navigating the options to secure the ideal tariff for your business.

While your retailer handles your billing and customer service, it’s the regional wholesaler that manages the pipes and supply in your region.

Business Water Rates
Water bills are essential for all businesses, and they typically include several standard charges. Let's explore some of the common fees your water supplier might include:
Potable Water Standing Charge
This is a fixed daily charge that you have to pay, regardless of water usage. The standing charge goes towards maintaining the water infrastructure and networks across your region.
Wastewater Standing Charges
A fixed daily sewage charge that applies to your business regardless of wastewater production. This fee helps cover the ongoing maintenance of the entire sewage system.
Surface Water Drainage Rates
You pay a drainage charge based on your property size. It helps maintain the system and prevent floods (rainwater removal).
Trade Effluent Rates
Trade effluent is any liquid that your business produces and discharges that isn’t regular sewage e.g food waste, chemicals etc.

Is Commercial Water Less Expensive Than Residential?
Given that businesses serve larger populations and typically occupy larger premises compared to households, their water usage tends to be higher, often resulting in higher bills. However, this doesn’t necessarily translate to businesses being charged more for water. In fact, businesses often benefit from discounted rates.
The deregulation of the water market for non-residential properties in England and Scotland in 2017 allowed businesses, charities, and organisations to select their water supplier and opt for more cost-effective tariffs. Numerous factors influence water bill calculations, and with competing suppliers able to set their own rates, businesses have the opportunity to secure lower prices.
