Water bills rise to an average of £448 today - here's how to keep costs down

If you're feeling fooled on April 1, it's probably not funny. That's because it's the day when many everyday items go up in price.

One of those is water, with bills in Wales and England rising by an average of £31 a year. It means the average household will be paying £448 a year thanks to the 7.5% rise - the biggest in 20 years.
