Price water fairly

Over 70% of households in England are charged for water regardless of how much they use. This system cannot deter waste or reward people for using water wisely.

Make household water bills reflect the amount of water people use

1. By 2008, Defra should publish a plan for installing a water meter in every home, accompanied by tariff schemes that protect vulnerable customers and deter waste.
2. By 2015, all homes in areas where water is scarce should be fitted with a water meter.
3. By 2020, every home in England should have a water meter.
