On average, households in England and Wales will see their water bill rise by about £13 for the year from April.
Regina Finn, Ofwat chief executive officer, said: "When we set limits on prices, we listened to customers. They told us they wanted bills kept down, while maintaining safe, reliable water supplies. We challenged companies hard to deliver this. Our decision meant that, before inflation, average bills would remain broadly stable between 2010 -15.
"We understand that any bill rise is unwelcome, particularly in tough economic times. Inflation feeds through into water bills, and this is driving these rises.
"We will make sure customers get value for money. Companies are investing £22 billion by 2015 – more than £935 for every property in England and Wales. This will deliver benefits to us all – from continuing to improve reliability of supplies to cleaner rivers and beaches.
"If companies don't deliver on their investment promises, we will take action."

“Has the recent adverse and unseasonal weather had any bearing on this? Is this connected to the Priory Lane Hole in the Road which had this website reported I would have not had to do a U turn this afternoon.”
