Returning from holiday last week we…
Returning from holiday last week we discovered the previously dry stream at the end of our garden was full of raw sewage. Neighbours had contacted Wessex Water and were visited by a member of staff who decided it was surface water running off the field, and there was nothing he could do. The 5 stars definitely do not apply to this employee. However, on Tuesday 18th September, Will and his team turned up,and couldn't have been more efficient and helpful. The problem was a blockage in the sewer coming from the new Taylor Wimpey estate, consisting of building materials. Will kept us informed at all times, arranged for the stream to be cleared and the field cleaned. He and his team were on site for a few days and were polite and professional throughout.

Sewage/Waste blockage
We had a sewage/waste water blockage at the boundary of our house which we partially dealt with ourselves. Wessex Water came out within 5 hours to check on their end of the problem & sorted it there & then. The engineer was pleasant & polite & carried out the work with a minimum of fuss.

The tech phoned with an appointment time, turned up on time and was very polite. He listened to all that I told him and examined all points noting the partially blocked foul sewer which he cleared and tested for leaks in the rainwater drain, which was sound. He gave his opinion for the back filling of the hole around the drain and marked the incorrect inspection cover which he reported for replacement . Excellent work, unhurried and professional in his manner. Roger Sutton

After receiving 4 unsolicited texts…
After receiving 4 unsolicited texts giving tips on saving water, a ban arrives and no communication. I had to be informed by a friend who watches the BBC - I do not.
Do better for your customers and that includes hitting your water loss targets - you didn't @ 20% loss - and not awarding your CEO a 14% pay rise - against govt., advice but due to 'market realignment'; with bonuses £791,000.

Hi Peter, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're very sorry to hear of your concerns regarding the communication surrounding the recently introduced hosepipe ban.
We would like to reassure you that information about the ban has been sent to all account holders across our region via SMS or email, depending on their contact preferences. As we are contacting millions of customers, it can take some time for all notifications to be issued and received. Provided your contact details are up to date, you should receive the information shortly if you have not done so already.
In the last three months, we've invested £16 million in projects across our region to upgrade water mains and improve the reliability of water supplies. This investment continues, and we've increased leak repairs by a third over the past month by working around the clock and deploying additional resources to find and fix leaks as quickly as possible.
The CEO's salary is set by an independent Remuneration Committee, which determines executive pay based on factors including performance, market comparisons, and the company's overall objectives and responsibilities.

Hello, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m very sorry to hear about your concerns.
I would like to reassure you that customers continue to have full access to their water supply. The hosepipe ban is not a ban on all outdoor water use. Customers can still use watering cans, buckets, and other manual methods. The restrictions are intended to reduce high-volume water use through hosepipes and equipment connected directly to the mains supply.
Following a prolonged period of hot, dry weather, water demand has remained exceptionally high for an extended period. To help protect water resources and ensure sufficient supplies remain available for essential use, we made the difficult decision to introduce a temporary hosepipe ban.
We appreciate that these restrictions may be inconvenient, and we thank customers for their understanding and cooperation as we work to protect water supplies for everyone.
If you have any further queries, please don’t hesitate to contact us at 0345 600 4 600 (available 24/7 for emergencies) or via live chat from 8am to 6pm, Monday to Friday. Bonny

Hi Rod, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m truly sorry to hear about the prolonged water supply interruption, and the lack of communication you received from us.
The interruption was caused by an issue with our booster pumps, as a result of exceptionally low reservoir levels. We sent out SMS updates throughout the incident to keep affected customers informed of our investigations and to provide details of the bottled water station we established. However, we are very sorry if you did not receive these messages.
To ensure you receive any future updates, please get in touch with our Customer Services team on 0345 600 4 600 or via our online live chat so we can check and update your contact details if needed.

Conserve water everyone but not us
Charging huge amounts each month to costumers but nit seeming to put anything back into to renew, replace and upgrade. The money should go back into maintenance of the system not on boosting someone's private bank balance. That is how it feels as a customer. Reported leak one week later still not been to site, yet I'm told to conserve the water I'm using at home.

Hi Katie, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We understand your frustration, particularly when you've reported a leak and are being asked to conserve water at home while waiting for repairs to be completed.
The recent hot, dry weather has put exceptional pressure on our water network, leading to an unprecedented number of leaks across the region. Our teams are working around the clock to find and fix leaks as quickly as possible, prioritising those that are causing the greatest water loss. In the last month alone, we have increased the number of repairs completed by more than a third.
We also want to reassure you that significant investment is being made in maintaining and improving the water network. In the last three months alone, we've invested £16 million in projects across the region to upgrade water mains and improve the reliability of water supplies for customers, and this investment is continuing.
Once again, we're sorry that your leak has not yet been attended to and appreciate that this delay is disappointing. Please be assured that our teams are working as quickly as possible to respond to the increased demand and complete repairs across the region.
If you have any further queries, please don’t hesitate to contact us at 0345 600 4 600 (available 24/7 for emergencies) or via live chat from 8am to 6pm, Monday to Friday. Bonny

Well done wessex water…
I complained and only gave wessex water a 1 star after complaining about all the leaks in the upton /hamworthy area. They replied to me and told me . They were aware of 2 of the leaks ,but not aware of the rest. Then they would look into to the rest. Ive gone from 1 star to five because in the last 3 weeks they have repaired all of the leaks I complained about and more in the area. I must admit I am very impressed with wessex water. Well done to you all ,working in this immense heat you have to endure this summer . Also we'll do e to all admin as well 🫴
