What happens next? Our complaints process

Step 1 – Initial response
One of our Water Specialists will try to resolve your complaint straight away. If that’s not possible, they’ll open a case and provide you with a complaint reference.

Step 2 – Complaint review
A dedicated Complaints Specialist will take over and aim to resolve the issue within 10 working days. If you’re still not satisfied, you can escalate your complaint.

Step 3 – Escalation to Customer Manager
A Customer Manager will review your case and any further information you provide. They’ll issue a final response. If the issue still isn’t resolved, this is known as “deadlock.” At this stage, you can refer your complaint to an independent body.

Step 4 – Optional Further Review
You may also request a final review by one of our Customer Champions. This is available for deadlocked complaints or those unresolved after 8 weeks.

 

Independent Arbitration

If you remain unhappy after our final response, or if it’s been more than 8 weeks since you submitted your complaint, you can contact the Consumer Council for Water (CCW):
