I dont think you will get any help paying your water bill if you are on benefits. They dont now, so i cant see them doing so in the future.

Do you have a water meter Bob ?

The last new build i lived in we had one. The water company demanded approx 30.00 a month DD for me and Alec. They said if i got into credit it would be adjusted the year after. Yea right !!!
I took a water reading and rang back after a month, i used the water as normal and i only used something like 6 pounds in one month but they wasnt prepared to let me pay that.

Sorry but in my opinion ...the water company is a rip off !.

Oh and im 90% sure that we still have lead pipes for our water !!! i remember getting a letter from either the council or the water board asking if we wanted them changed, we the tennant had to pay for it !!!!!
