Big Difference Scheme Offers Up to £390 Per Year Off Water Bills for Low-Income Households in Severn Trent Region
On Friday, September 19, 2025, households across the Severn Trent region were given a glimmer of financial relief as Severn Trent Water announced the launch of their Big Difference Scheme. This programme aims to support low-income families and individuals by offering reduced water charges, potentially saving them up to £390 per year on their water bill.
The scheme is funded by Severn Trent and comes at a crucial time as rising household costs continue to put pressure on families and individuals. The Big Difference Scheme provides much-needed relief for those who may be struggling to make ends meet or in need of extra support during the cost-of-living crisis.
To be eligible for the scheme, households must be served by Severn Trent Water and have a low household income. Eligibility is assessed through a simple online application process, and if successful, the reduction is applied directly to the household’s water bill.
To apply for the Big Difference Scheme, interested parties can visit the scheme’s official website at www.bigdiff.co.uk. The application process is quick and easy, and applicants will be notified of their eligibility status. If successful, the discount will be automatically applied to their Severn Trent Water account.
In addition to the Big Difference Scheme, Severn Trent also offers extra support for individuals through their Priority Services Register. This service provides additional help to customers with medical conditions, disabilities, or other needs, ensuring they receive extra care and assistance during supply interruptions. Interested customers can register for this service by visiting stwater.co.uk/priorityservices.
The Big Difference Scheme is administered on Severn Trent’s behalf by Auriga Services, a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to help individuals through life’s challenges. Working in partnership with Auriga Services, Severn Trent is committed to supporting low-income households in the Severn Trent region and providing much-needed relief during these difficult times.
