Record bill rises have hit households hard, driving the largest-ever increase in complaints about water companies to CCW. Companies need to do much more to show people where their money is going and demonstrate that higher bills are funding the improvements that were promised.

Our latest Household Complaints Report reveals a surge in complaints to both water companies and CCW. Against the backdrop of rising bills, affordability concerns, the scale of the price rises and the search for ways to reduce costs were among the drivers behind the increase.

🚽💧That little trickle might be costing more than you think.. Leaky loos are surprisingly easy to miss. Worth a quick check next time you're in the bathroom. A simple fix could be kinder to your bills and even kinder to the planet.

Water safety could save a life 🚨☀️ Warmer weather means more time near water, which makes it a good moment to think about safety. Research from @RLSSUK highlights a concerning rise in accidental drownings during hot weather, particularly among teenagers and young adults.

🌱 Does your lawn look dry during hot weather? During hot, dry periods, grass naturally slows its growth and uses less water to protect itself. When cooler weather and rainfall return, your lawn should recover naturally.
