What is the Open Water Market and how will it affect your business ?

So what is the Open Water Market ? 

The open water market means none residential customers such as businesses and charities are able to change their water and waste water provider, giving more choice to none residential customers.

When did the water market open and become deregulated ?

Perhaps you missed it but the open water market was deregulated in April 2017 allowing all none residential customers to Switch Water Supplier.

The idea being if customers were unhappy with their existing supplier or for whatever reason for example poor service, unresolved complaints or even to obtain a better deal and reduce their water bills going forwards, much the same as you would do with your gas and electric bills you can shop around to get a better deal.

There are over 1.2 million none household customers in England and Scotland. A large proportion of which would benefit from switching water supplier to a more or lesser degree, but taking advantage of the competitive water market created by the open water market is great for customers and the environment.

So if you are unhappy with your water supplier for whatever reason you don’t have to suffer in silence vote with your feet and switch water supplier!
