Householders are to be offered a rebate on their water bill if they can reduce water usage enough to refill a reservoir in a first-of-its-kind scheme. If one vital reservoir is boosted to 30% of its capacity by the end of this year, customers will get a £30 rebate on their water bills.
South West Water today announced the customer incentive scheme, asking everyone in Cornwall to help recharge reservoir levels. "Stop the Drop" will see customers offered a financial incentive to encourage them to reduce consumption in exchange for a rebate on their bill.
If Colliford reservoir recovers to 30% by 31 December 2022, customers in Cornwall will receive a £30 rebate on their bill.
