Technician arrived within half an hour of calling. Wasn’t a very straight forward problem but took time and as far as I’m concerned went the extra mile to ensure my water was running again. I received an excellent service.

Paid bill in full but they still left a default on my credit report which will stay for 6 years. My credit score was 'Excellent' and now is 'Poor'. Currently trying to get a mortgage and now has been refused. Tried emailing and contacting CS, however, they all say there's nothing they can do and they will not remove.

Good service!

Had reason to call Essex and Suffolk Water about a bad leak outside the house. The phone was answered promptly and the operator was friendly and the call was dealt with swiftly. Had a visit from them in a short while and the guy was lovely and very reassuring. Leak fixed next day and all was fine!

Phone contact regarding supply interruption

Message left from ESW regarding supply interruptions. Telephoned helpline. Prompt answer, straightforward direction to personable, knowledgeable lady who gave an explanation and directions on how to check my water quality whilst she stayed on the line. Reassuring to receive immediate response.

Had a problem with mains water pressure, the person on the phone asked me to turn my internal stopcock on and off to see if there was a partial blockage but it was seized , also the outside stopcock at the end of the driveway was covered with soil so couldn’t be operated, She said she would send someone out the next day to assess the situation, and on time he arrived, cleaned out the soil and got the stopcock to turn but said it would need replacing, the next day two engineers came, again on time, and fitted a new stopcock which means I can now replace the internal stopcock, problem solved. Well done AnglianWater. Thank you.

Amazing Service

I needed the water turned off from the stop cock in the road to enable a plumber to move some pipe work in the kitchen. The stop cock in the rd wasn't working properly, just spinning, so we were unable to turn it off.

Spoke to Mary on the telephone she was extremely helpful, professional and knowledgeable. She managed to get an engineer out within the hour, amazing service, I was really impressed. In the end I had two vans and two engineers (didn't get their names) they did a brilliant job, I can't thank you all enough, really impressed.
