Help and support

From practical help like having important information sent in different formats, and more frequent meter reads, to financial help including support with debt, we are constantly looking of ways to improve these services. We recently removed the benefit criteria for one of our most popular support tariffs, WaterCare.

Workshops

Whenever we make a change in the business, like updating the website, research into customer priorities for the business plans, or want to trial a new process, we run customer workshops. These are hugely informative events that have truly shaped where the business has placed itself within the industry.
