Abstract

15.6 per cent of households in England and Wales already spend more than 3 per cent of their income after housing costs on water; 7 per cent spend more than 5 per cent of their income.
Single parent households, Black African, Black Caribbean and Black British households, and households in relative poverty have the highest rates of water poverty.
Water poverty rates are projected to increase to 22.8 per cent at the 3 per cent threshold and 9.9 per cent at the 5 per cent threshold.
The paper looks at four options to reduce water poverty.
