Contact either your water company or the benefits agency to arrange this.<\/p>\n<p>For people with water meters there is a scheme called WaterSure, which caps your water bill at the average for your area, so you do not need to worry about how high it is going. To qualify for this scheme, you have to be in receipt of benefits and have either three children under the age of 19, or a member of your household has a medical condition which increases the amount to water used.
