Every Drop Counts scheme for business customers

We’re providing our business customers with a water-saving incentive scheme called Every Drop Counts.

We've been working hard to manage water supplies during this exceptionally dry period. To help protect our rivers and ensure water remains available for essential use, we need your help.

How the scheme works

If you reduce your water use by at least 10% over the next three months, we will give you a credit back on your 2025/26 wholesale water charges.

How much you will need to save What you’ll get back
10% reduction Credit equivalent to 5% off 2025-26 wholesale water charges
20% reduction Credit equivalent to 10% off 2025-26 wholesale water charges
30% reduction Credit equivalent to 15% off 2025-26 wholesale water charges
