Firm’s £70 to low-income households

Householders on low incomes in this area could be about to receive a financial helping hand from Yorkshire Water. Customers on the water authority’s social tariffs will receive an automatic account payment of over £70 to help with the cost of living increase. More than 45,000 Yorkshire Water customers will automatically receive the payment, which will be applied directly to their account.

The payment is part of a series of initiatives the company is introducing in response to the increasing cost of living – it recently announced a £115m pot of support for struggling households.
