To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what estimate he has made of the average weekly water bill for a (a) one, (b) two, (c) three and (d) four or more person household. (276647)

Neither Ofwat nor my Department hold information on the average weekly water bill for households.

Ofwat’s leaflet “Your water and sewerage bill 2009-10” provides information on average annual water bills for unmetered and metered bills for every water company in England and Wales. I have arranged for a copy to be placed in the Library of the House.
