let’s get down to business

If you buy water, wastewater (also known as sewerage) or both services for a business, charity or public sector organisation, you may be eligible to switch to a new retail service supplier to get the best deal

Retail services include things like reading meters, issuing bills and customer service

If you are eligible, you can:

  • choose a new retailer for water or wastewater services, or both
  • renegotiate with your existing retailer
  • choose a new price and service package from your chosen retailer

Customers using more than 50 million litres of water a year may be eligible to ‘self-supply’ by applying for a retail water licence. This will enable them to buy services directly from one of the wholesalers.

is my business, charity or public sector organisation eligible?

Most businesses, charities and public sector organisations in England can choose their water retailer.

In Wales, you can choose your water retailer if you use more than 50 million litres of water a year.

If your business premises are eligible, you will be able to shop around to choose a new retail supplier for:

  • water used in your premises
  • wastewater leaving your premises
  • both water and wastewater
