Anglian Water is today announcing an unprecedented £65 million package of tailored affordability support for customers this year as the cost of living crisis bites – the largest ever offering from a water company. The package offers a range of tailored services to support those in need. Discounted tariffs mean eligible customers can get up to 50 per cent off their water bill, plus the company also offers affordable payment plans, payment holidays in certain circumstances, and direct support through the Anglian Water Assistance Fund, which is specially designed to help to cover the cost of bills when people are going through the most challenging times.

Anglian Water has today unveiled proposals to create 26 new treatment wetlands across the East of England as part of an ambitious programme of work, which will help protect rivers and some of the much-loved chalk stream habitats in the East of England. The initiative forms part of Anglian’s recently-launched Get River Positive commitment in which the company has pledged work to restore river habitats across the region Get River Positive was launched by Anglian Water and Severn Trent earlier this year. The plan includes five pledges to transform river water quality across their regions, and demonstrates a clear and actionable response to calls for a revival of rivers in England. Central to the pledges is a commitment that work carried out by the two water companies will ensure storm overflows and sewage treatment works do not harm rivers.
