Contact us

We have fewer colleagues to speak with you due to coronavirus. This is impacting our call wait times and it will take longer to answer your call.

Please only call us if you have an urgent issue with your water or sewerage services.

Our accounts and billing team contact hours have changed:

8am to 7pm Monday to Friday, and
9am to 1pm on Saturdays.

Our accounts and billing contact centres are closed on bank holidays.

Our water and sewerage service line, 0345 717 1100, is 24/7. Please help us prioritise emergencies and our vulnerable customers, and only call us if you have an urgent issue. Thanks.

You can tell us you're moving home, make payments, set up and update Direct Debits, give us meter readings and more with an online account.
