What the average does and does not tell you
- It is a forecast average across all Hafren Dyfrdwy household customers, not a tariff or a quote.
- With a water meter, your bill depends on how much water you use. Without one, it usually depends on the property, for example its rateable value or an assessed charge.
- Business customers have separate charges; this page covers household bills.

If you’re struggling to pay
Social tariffs
Every water company in England and Wales has a social tariff that can reduce bills for people on low incomes. Who qualifies and how much it saves depend on the company, so ask yours. CCW also advises contacting your company early if you are falling behind, and Water Direct lets people already in debt pay through their benefits. CCW: help with bills ↗
WaterSure Wales
In Wales the water companies offer support equivalent to WaterSure through their own schemes.

Water meters
