Contact your water company or retailer

Send a letter or email to your water company or retailer explaining your complaint, and tell them what you want them to do to resolve it.

The water company or retailer has 10 working days to resolve your written complaint and respond to you.

Our Senior Customer Caseworker, Rhys Brooks, explains more in the video below:

Wait 10 days

Contact your water company or retailer and ask them to review your complaint response.

They then have another 10 working days to resolve your written complaint and respond to you.
