The Exeter-headquartered company, part of Pennon Group Plc, said the average annual bill for water and wastewater services will be less in 2022/23 than last year and lower than 10 years ago.
The average household bill will now be £472, a fall from £483 in 2021/22. Customers will also continue to benefit from the £50 Government Contribution, to cut household bills, for 2022/23.
