Wessex Water is offering key NHS workers a rebate of up to £50 to cover the additional costs of having to wash their uniforms at home.

To be eligible, customers have to:

• receive their water supply from Wessex Water
• be on a water meter, and
• be a front-line NHS worker who is required to wash the uniform given to them by their employer

Typical NHS roles include nurses, doctors and paramedics, and other occupations similar to those listed on the HM Revenue & Customs tax relief for uniforms website page.

Wessex Water has 2.8m customers across the South West including Bristol, most of Dorset, Somerset and Wiltshire and parts of Gloucestershire and Hampshire.
