The possibility of using introducing trickle flow meters to water customers who don’t pay their debts came a step closer this week with the news that Ofwat backed plans for a review. This idea was first raised in the Walker Review (published in June).Rising debt is a big issue for water companies with unpaid bills currently over £1 billion and rising fast. It is also a concern for all customers as those who don’t pay add £11 to everyone else’s bills. The problem of rising debt certainly need to be tackled as every £1 sent subsidising debt is £1 less on investment in the water sector.
