The CCW has proposed a single system of support for customers across Wales and England.

A survey by CCW found that a quarter of households with a water meter were cutting back on what was considered "essential" water use.

The CCW said this was the largest rise in water bills since the privatisation of the water industry 36 years ago.

CCW chief executive Mike Keil warned significant price increases would put an "intolerable strain" on the finances of millions.

The CCW wants all firms to have a single scheme so that everyone gets the same help wherever they live.
