Average household water and wastewater bills will fall by £2 (0.6%) to £408 for the 2021/22 financial year, equivalent to £1.12 a day.
Price movements varied company by company, as did overall costs. Hafren Dyfrdwy offers the lowest combined bill at £324, closely followed by Northumbrian Water at £328. At £483, South West Water customers continue to pay the highest bill, though this was down by £23 from 2020/21.
CCW welcomed the average price fall, but noted millions of households face an increase.
Water UK pointed out the average price fall has been teamed with increased help for those who struggle to pay, with 1m customers now receiving some kind of support and 90,000 offered Covid-19 payment breaks since the start of the pandemic.
