NI Water has announced new non-domestic water and sewerage charges for the 2025/26 period. Effective from 1st April 2025, non-domestic water and sewerage charges are set to increase by 7.7% on average.
According to NI Water, typical measured customer bills will rise by 7.0%, while typical unmeasured and typical trade effluent bills will rise by 8.6% and 9.6% respectively.
The water company said the announcement comes as part of its commitment to balancing necessary infrastructure investment with fair pricing for customers.
NI Water Director of Finance, Regulation & Commercial, Ronan Larkin, commented:
“NI Water’s proposed charges undergo a robust process, and any increase must comply with price limits set by the Utility Regulator.
“Tariff increases in line with these price limits will see non-domestic tariffs rise by 7.7% on average from 1 April 2025. This compares favourably against price increases in other water and sewerage utilities across Scotland, England and Wales.
“NI Water operates in a challenging funding environment with high expectations to provide a cost-effective water and sewerage service. The revenue from bills will support necessary investment in infrastructure, benefiting the local economy and environment.”
The full Scheme of Charges will be available on the NI Water website from 1st April 2025 at https://www.niwater.com/services-for-developers/charges/
