Each company can raise infrastructure charges for connecting premises for household purposes to a public water main or to a public sewer for the first time. We set an upper limit on this charge.
The maximum infrastructure charge for 2010-11 is £298.15, on the 1st April 2011 this will change by the annual RPI at November 2009.
If a single, larger (non-standard) service pipe supplies a property such as a hotel or block of flats where a management company is responsible for water charges, the infrastructure charges are calculated according to the number and type of water fittings.
