Portsmouth, Gosport, Fareham, Havant, Chichester & Bognor Regis
A 97-year-old resident was paying £829 in 2024 on an unmeasured supply. A family of four in the same street paid half that amount on a measured supply.
In 2025, that resident would have paid £1,237 unmeasured, but only £586 on a measured supply - a saving of £651!
Another neighbor reduced their 2025 bill from £1,476 to £808.
Check if Portsmouth Water has installed an 'opportunistic meter' outside your property during repair works. You could be eligible to switch and save hundreds of pounds!
