Part G Water Consumption Review: New Water Efficiency Incentives
Maximise Incentives. Minimise Usage. Build Sustainably.
Get Ready And Unlock New Water Efficiency Incentives
Water companies across the UK have rolled out new incentive schemes under Ofwat’s Environmental Incentives Common Framework (EICF). These schemes offer developers financial rewards for designing water-efficient homes that go beyond basic building regulations.
Our Part G Water Consumption Review helps you meet these new standards and capitalise on thousands of pounds in available savings per development.
What’s Changing?
| New Incentive Features | What It Means for You |
| Environmental Component Charge | Replaces the income offset to fund developer rewards |
| Tiered Incentives | Earn more by achieving lower water usage (e.g. £250 for ≤100L/p/d) |
| Fixtures & Fittings Approach | Rewards for installing low-flow taps, low-flush WCs, and efficient white goods |
| Whole-Site Flow Regulators | Additional bonuses for regulating site-wide water flow |
| Daily Usage Targets | Incentives triggered at key thresholds: 110L or 100L per person/day |
Why It Matters
Most new homes still just meet the minimum 125 litres per person per day.
But with growing environmental scrutiny and regulatory shifts, “just enough” is no longer enough.
Companies like United Utilities, Bristol Water, and Severn Trent are leading the way in rewarding sustainable design. By reviewing your designs now, you’ll be prepared to:
✅ Access up to £1,800 in incentives per home
✅ Meet or exceed government 110L targets
✅ Reduce infrastructure and sewerage charges
✅ Position your development as low-impact and future-ready
