Surface Water Charges

Action with Communities in Rural England (ACRE) welcomes the announcement by
United Utilities Water Company that it is to continue its moratorium on surface water
charging for a further year (2010/11), and extend it to include eligible village halls
and community centres.

During early 2009, following the announcement of the moratorium, ACRE and the
Rural Community Action Network (RCAN) made strong representation to United
Utilities Water Company, Defra and Ofwat regarding the failure to include halls and
community centres in the 2009/2010 moratorium. ACRE also had concerns that this
would lead to exclusion in other areas in the future.
