Don’t panic. First, call your provider and ask for a payment plan review. They might spread the cost over 12 months instead of three. Second, check if you qualify for a social tariff—some companies give discounts to low-income households or those with medical needs. It’s like finding a secret coupon for your bill.
Finally, request a water audit from your supplier. Many offer them for free. They’ll send you a pack with shower timers, leak tablets, and advice. It’s basically a free kit for becoming a water ninja. And if all else fails, remember: a doubled bill is usually a one-off shock, not a new normal. You’ve got this.
