Outstanding service from the two Williams who attended my property today!(one was Brookes cant remember the lead guys surname)
Very pleasant guys who attended within an hour of my call to Scottish water! Totally impressed by how quickly they resolved the blockage and how thoroughly they cleaned everything up with disinfectant! If only every service was this good! I'm not one for writing reviews but after a First class service from these guys called William they deserve recognition! Thank you!

the joy of getting to speak to a person quickly

Customer Services answered the phone within 30 seconds (not used to that with most organisations), and no long winded narrative with option selections required before getting to speak to anyone, advisor was very helpful, and arranged an engineer appointment within 5 minutes.

Contacted them recently about large number of sewage discharges in Scotland.

Despite the huge wages of the executive their reply was totally useless.

Failed to answer why so many sewage discharges. Why executives executives get such excessive wages for Failures

Scottish Water incident ref: 2154986. Outstanding service.

Was unable to locate our toby (mains water shut off) in the street. Turns out it had become covered in dirt and debris due to where it was located.
Called the help line and spoke with a lovely lady to explain our problem and how it was delaying essential work in our home. She explained the process and who would be contacting me to progress the issue.
I received a call back (from John) and he explained in detail what would be done to assist me, including a visit to my property if required. As it turned out, this was not necessary as John guided me to the precise hidden location of the toby using Google Maps and Scottish Water schematics. Problem resolved within 10-15 minutes.

Well Done Adam Wilson and Davey Taylor

Adam Wilson and Davey Taylor came earlier than expected at 9am to unblock a sewage pipe that had become blocked by wipes. They were full of information about what they were doing, and didn't take long at all to finish the task. The job they did was free of charge, which is amazing. We were very grateful for a job well done. Thanks Guys! We know to call Scottish Water right away if it gets blocked in future, but hopefully we won't need to get their help for a long time.

Completely inept

When I initially joined them I set up a direct debit. They then proceeded to take over £700 from my bank account. I called them to rectify their mistake, but they couldn't refund it. I had to contact my bank to cancel the transaction. They then did exactly the same thing again! In the end I cancelled all direct debits and had to pay these morons manually every month.

Over a 2/3 year period have been constantly let down by Scottish Water at all levels though to CEO who accept that sewage system on road is not coping but refuse to invest to carry out necessary repairs. Very little is open to customers around decision making process and I have real concerns about how this utility company is held to account by Scottish Government

Thank you so much for fixing a burst trunk main pipe last night and through to today. The workers worked so hard to fix it including having to excavate to get to the pipe. Was giving 16 1.5ltr bottles of water last night. I'm sure the whole of North East Dundee appreciate the hard work as much as I do.

Brilliant response by Scottish Water to a burst water main in the Scottish Borders

On Sunday 2nd October a large mains water pipe fractured in Eyemouth, Scottish Borders releasing gallons of water to the local river and meaning our estate of around 80 homes were without water.
I called Scottish Water and, after a delay of a couple of minutes, logged the incident and was told an engineer was on route.
The first engineer was on site within an hour and, as we went to bed with no water, the repair team worked their magic and we woke up to a restored water supply.
It's easy to criticise public utilities but on this occasion I cannot fault the service received. The burst main could not have been predicted and all was sorted in approx 18 hours - a superb response and thank you Scottish Water!

Phoned Scottish Water after noticing a waste flood in my garden! Luckily caught in time coz 2 years ago when it last happened, was heart-breaking with a private company doing the job and leaving my garden in a mess!!! Anyway, was told by Scottish water that they would come out 3 days later! I was freaking out as whenever my sons used the toilet or shower, the flood kept running like a disease! Was given a ref number if things went really alarming however, within a fraction of 1 hour, a really lovely gentleman called David Kellas phoned me saying he would be with me in 20 mins and so he did!!! He single handily carried out a job in 30 mins a job that took the private company 3 hrs or so!! We kept interacting and he was just a brilliant man who loves his job and goes on about it like a dream!! Meanwhile, we noticed that this job wasn't even supposed to be handled by Scottish water as it was on the property and my private landlord should have known better instead of asking me to call Scottish water, shame!!! Anyway, I am smiling today because I can't believe how fast things got handled. THANK YOU SCOTTISH WATER. THANK YOU DAVID KELLAS>>>>simply the best.

Three years of battling with Scottish Water! My premises are being charges twice by both Southern water as a domestic property and Scottish water as a commercial property all through the same one meter. Each company says I have to contact the other with neither assuming any responsibility for their actions. Hours on the phone, no one turning up for arranged surveys, they couldn't care less. After todays phone call I am going to stop bothering and wait for a judge to decide in court.
