Discount for low income pensioners
Get 20% off your water and wastewater bill if you claim pension credit and have no other form of income.
This discount applies to both your water and wastewater bill with Wessex Water. We'll let them know automatically when you apply with us.
Based on the average bill, that could mean £60 extra in your pocket each year. We can even backtrack the payment to cover your current billing period.
To Qualify
- We (Bristol Water) must supply your water services.
- Everyone in your household who is over 18 years old must be in receipt of Pension Credit or have a state pension as their only form of income.
- You'll need to supply some evidence.
If you are unsure whether you receive pension credit or if you need to obtain a letter as proof of your entitlement, please call the pension centre on 0345 606 0265 or visit www.gov.uk/find-pension-centre to look up your nearest branch.
Your local Age UK may also be able to check if you’re entitled to pension credit.
