Thames Water and Southern Water are hardest hit and will have to return almost £80m to customers.
David Black, chief executive of Ofwat for England and Wales, said: "When it comes to delivering for their customers, too many water companies are falling short, and we are requiring them to return around £150m to their customers.
"We expect companies to improve their performance every year, where they fail to do so we will hold them to account."Oxford councillor Mike Rowley held a protest against Thames Water by swimming in leaked water in August Mr Black confirmed in August targets for areas such as leaks were "challenging but achievable," stating he had concerns about the performance of some companies.
"All water companies need to earn back the trust of customers and the public and we will continue to challenge the sector to improve," he added.He added: "Our aim is to always deliver brilliant customer service. It's one of the biggest priorities of our plan to turn around our performance."
