From the 1st of April 2025, water companies are updating their charges for new connections and this year sees significant changes. Income offset, a payment per plot which helps reduce the upfront costs of connecting to the water network, will no longer be available for new or existing developments from this date. Introduction of an environmental component, a charge made by the water companies for connecting a plot to their network, and regulation of environmental incentives are being put in place, to promote water efficiency, and sustainable drainage solutions. By using UKPS for your water and wastewater connections, you'll continue to receive asset value on your developments, helping to mitigate the impact of the removal of the income offset. That’s because we’re part of the Last Mile Group.
