Tips taken from OFWAT site.
There are many ways that you can save water around your home. You may find the following tips helpful.

Yorkshire Water really is not playing the game. makes you wonder how much regional differences there are.
Most of the help schemes UK wide are limited to benefit claiming households, it is what it is. With 57% of households claiming benefits in Yorkshire they have to draw a line somewhere.
If the OP cannot afford their water bills and gets into arrears there are other schemes to help in that situation.
In Scotland you get charged (£1k+) to opt for a meter to even find out if you would benefit from being metered as a low user ... As such it would take you many years to recover the cost of going onto the meter in the first place. Everyone else pays based on the annual full charge (single person households get a 25% deduction, collection is done by councils along with your council charge so Council Tax Reduction Benefit may also apply if you qualify).
