Codes of practice

We have a series of Codes of Practice which set out our legal obligations and responsibilities and customers' responsibilities where appropriate.

Our Codes of Practice are approved by the industry regulator, Ofwat.

We have broken down our main Code into separate sections to make it easier to use.


Code of Practice on our water supply services
 
In this leaflet we explain our water supply services, how we supply you with your water, information on quality and pressure, what to do if you have a problem with your water and who to contact.
Code of Practice on our waste water services
 
In this leaflet we explain how we dispose of your waste water, the different types of sewers, responsibilities for pipework, sewage treatment, the adoption of private sewers and who to contact.
Code of Practice on our charges, bills and water meters
 
In this leaflet we explain about metering, different ways to pay, and how charges for water and sewerage services are calculated.
Code of Practice on leakage for domestic customers
 
In this leaflet we explain what to do if you have a leak on your supply and how we are able to help with the cost of replacing or repairing your underground private service pipe.
Code of Practice on payment and debt recovery
 
In this leaflet we explain what we will do to help customers pay and what will happen if a customer doesn't pay.
Code of Practice on priority services
 
In this leaflet we explain how you can register for our priority service and the help and support we can offer. We are committed to helping you as much as we can, so if you have additional needs because of age, disability or illness (receiving home dialysis for example) you may wish to be included on our Priority services register so that we can provide specialised services to you.
Complaints and Compliments
 
In this leaflet we explain what to do if you have any comments or suggestions to make or a compliment or complaint about our service. We aim to always provide you with the highest possible service by treating you courteously, fairly, efficiently and making contact with us as simple as possible. However, sometimes problems do occur and when they do, we want to know so that we can put them right.
Our Customer Promise
 
In this leaflet we explain our promises and what you should expect from us. Some of these standards are set by Government, but we see these as a minimum requirement and have improved or introduced additional standards demonstrating our commitment to providing an excellent service.
