Customer Charter

Customer Services

What you can expect from us, how to raise it when we fall short, and what we ask of you in return.

What you can expect from us

How we'll treat you

We'll listen. We'll be fair, and we'll be courteous. Whatever you tell us stays confidential.

How we'll keep you informed

We'll tell you before we carry out maintenance or investigate your service. While a disruption is going on we'll keep you updated, not just tell you once it's over. Before any programme of disconnection for non-payment, we'll give notice through the public media. And you'll get a bill every month.

What we'll maintain

Your service connection, and the sewer systems. And we'll do what we said we'd do.
