Very poor customer service when told about cold water coming out warm and told to waste water by running water to come out colder, this is not best thing to say when told to save water.

Hi, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
I'm sorry to hear about your experience. During prolonged periods of hot weather, such as the recent heatwave, cold water pipes can warm up underground, which may result in cold taps running warmer than usual.
I appreciate your concern about water conservation. If you do need to run the tap briefly to obtain cooler water, I recommend collecting the water for other uses, such as watering plants.
Alternatively, many customers find it helpful to keep a jug of drinking water in the fridge during this warmer weather.

The leak I reported several days ago
The leak I reported several days ago, and that you said you were aware of, was still there when I drove past yesterday. I know you said you had to get permission from a land owner but surely when water is flowing down the lane there is something you can do.

Reply from Wessex Water
Hi Rosemary, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. I’m sorry to hear this and appreciate your concern. Seeing water still running down the lane several days later is understandably frustrating.
Although we're aware of the issue, we do need permission to access private land before repairs can go ahead. Please be assured we're continuing to work towards resolving the issue as quickly as we can.

We had a problem with a blocked drain…
We had a problem with a blocked drain and were advised by the drainage company who visited that we needed to contact Wessex Water. Initially this was an online chat and the person from Wessex Water Jenna-Grace was very helpful and advised that a request would be raised for a member of the sewerage team to contact us which they did. A visit was arranged the same afternoon. It was established quite quickly that the problem was in our private drain and not the public part. However the chap that visited was very knowledgable and informative and gave us some very useful advice including showing us exactly where the blockage was. We were very impressed with the prompt and efficient service we received.

Hi Jan, thank you for the lovely 5 star review!
I'm so pleased to hear Jenna-Grace was able to help you quickly and arrange for one of our sewerage technicians to visit, and it's great to know that our technician was able to identify the blockage, explain the situation clearly, and provide helpful advice.
Your feedback will be passed on to both and I am sure they will be very pleased.
