Cheaper water rates if you have 3 or more children

Anyone here with 3 or more children? OK...I live in Wales and I found out about Welsh Water Assist.

Basically, if you have 3 or more children and are in receipt of Child Tax Credit or Working Tax Credit (other benefits too listed below) then you pay reduced water rates.

Mine have dropped from £435 to £228

Thames Water do WaterSure which is very very similar so, if you arent in Wales or with Thames Water then maybe your Water company does something similar? Worth checking out IMO

HTHS

here is a list of qualifying benefits (for Welsh Water and Thames Water

Child Tax Credit (other than just the family element)
Working Tax Credit
Pension Credit
Income Support
Income Based Job Seekers Allowance
Income Related Employment and Support Allowance
Council Tax benefit

I'd like to add my tuppence worth too.

Water assist also covers those with medical conditions which requires additional water use for bathing or laundry etc. A Friend got it because she has her mother living with them with double incontinence,

hope this helps too.
