    Yorkshire Water is to give low-income households in the Harrogate district £70 payments to help with the cost of living crisis.

    The company announced today it will automatically award the payment to customers on its social tariffs.

    It comes as people across the district has seen energy bills increase and the price of goods and services hike with inflation.

    Yorkshire Water said that up to 45,000 people will receive an automatic discount on their bills. However, it also estimates that a further 200,000 could be eligible for support.

    Angie Markham–Nock, customer support manager at Yorkshire Water, said: 

    “We know a lot of customers are worried about money at the moment and we’re seeing more people than ever benefit from our financial support schemes. We hope this £70 payment will provide some relief to households across Yorkshire this year.
    “We don’t want our customers to worry about paying their next bill – our financial support schemes are there to help and can provide some relief to those who need it.”


    The company has urged people who may be eligible for a discount to get in touch. You can find out more information on the support on water bills here.
