Jane Taylor, head of customer services at Anglian Water, said: “To strike the right balance we’re continuing to keep costs as low as possible long term while still investing heavily in the things customers care about most.
“For an average of £1.15 per day you get all your clean water for washing and drinking, plus, all your sewerage services is included in the cost, which takes the dirty water away, cleans it and returns it safely to the environment.”
