Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water Avis 

Sick of the price rises just to pay there fines for polluting the waters around wales and to pay there greedy ceo , they have been dumping sewage all.over wales beaches and lakes again this year and should not be allowes to operate or charge the public what they do as they are criminals

Absolutely fuming.
We are a private estate and live and abide to a TP1 agreement. No work is to be carried out before 9am and you are here at 07.30 digging pavements up!

Horrendous customer service and dealing with personal data. I am a Welsh Water customer. But for months I have received debt collection letters and solicitor letters for somebody who has no links to my address. The letter advises that the person they are trying to contact me about is deceased and includes their actual address. I contacted Welsh Water to be told they could not find this person. Yet when I sent a copy of the letter they were able to find off the reference number. Very unhappy with misuse of my address and the way they are dealing with a deceased persons affairs. I had not followed up until now but don't see why I should be having to chase a company who I already notified that this person has no links to my address and contacting them once should have resolved this. Looking to take to Ombudsman for the way they are dealing with data after being told that this is incorrect,. Threatening letters that indicate somebody could turn up on my doorstep also shocking when again they were notified that this was incorrect, Also the fact that I pay a bill to them each month for the address in question should be enough for them to update their records as I am the houseowner and bill payer. Have been unhappy with Welsh Water for some time. If I had an option to change company I would. But this whole experience has been shocking from a company that could not care less and this comes across in every correspondence with them. Which is why I will be logging a complaint with the Ombudsman. They are making me spend my own time dealing with affairs that are not mine might aswell spend that time making a formal complaint as dealing with them multiple times has got me nowhere apart from frustrated and would hate for a family member of mines details to be used in this way and with complete disregard for the circumstances.

If I could I give them -1
They are unprofessional,poor customer service they just deduct the high fees, They don't install a water meter, even though I asked, so they can deduct a lot of money!

Welsh water advised us to have a meter fitted as it would reduce our bill but if we weren't happy could have it removed in the first 12 months so we agreed to having it fitted and during the first 12 months was fine now the 12 months have passed they have more than doubled the bill as the 12 months have passed there's nothing we can about it they had conned us so angry unlike electricity companies you can't change supplier and now can't have the meter removed our advice do not have a meter installed

What a dreadful company. Dug a small hole outside a shop. Did not clean up any of their mess. Pavement covered in dirt and gravel so everyone else can tread in all the shops. People could not care less about doing a good job and leaving it clean and tidy. They just cannot be bothered. They left a 18plus bar water leak outside my shop for 3 months..no sign of fixing it. I had to call the council and counsellors to tell them to fix it.

Extremely frustrating experience. I have repeatedly tried to contact Dŵr Cymru by phone, live chat, and social media without success. Customer service appears inaccessible, and I have been unable to get assistance despite multiple attempts. This has been one of the most difficult customer service experiences I’ve had. Dwr Cymru deserves to be shut down.

I am sick to to the back teeth of these ,i pay my bills on time every month was in credit last month i am on a meter just me living here i water garden from water but in garden don't run any central heating so no water being used there. wash clothes once a week . i use as little water as possible . clean car from water but in garden , and these numpties are reporting me to credit agencies as being in debit . Went out to read meter tonight and it was covered in so much dirt it has not been read by them for months . Like i say i pay every month on the dot and they report me to credit agencies as being in dept . And when you ring them about bad markers they try and say there not doing it . Had a gutsful of river poisoning too.

Still no reply from 4 days ago, stated they would reply in 2 .water undrinkable in Rhondda, not delivering to disabled etc, no5 giving proper updates. Totally useless, can’t trust them, charge a fortune , no5 for profit, a laugh. CEO paid nearly a million. Tried contacting today, don’t answer phone, don’t reply to message , or on line question on website

Moved into a new build property and ask the site continues to be built; noticed a change in water pressure. Had my own plumber to come and check it out and nothing reflective in side the property to cause the sudden change in water pressure.
Reached out for support, been advised it’s a ‘private’ issue but can call to my neighbours for the same reason but not able to support us. The best bit about the response, it said it’s not our problem but you ever have a leak we have a range of options to support you. Must be money to be made in leaks clearly.
Shame they don’t think about the customer service when they are taking money each month and rising costs on an annual basis. No wonder the reviews on here are so bad

Had a small leak. Used the online system. Very polite and efficient worker arrived within 48 hours and fixed. Well done Welsh Water

Doesn’t deserve a rating. Single parent here. They’ve upped my direct debit with no warning given. They’ve taken a huge payment out of my account again no warning given. I’m not in debt. I’ve put a complaint in but will be taking it further. As it’ll take 19 days to get back to me. I’m not holding my breath. They need to be shut down or owned by some one who will actually do their job. Beyond fuming and now worried about feeding my kids and paying bills.

Contains lead, chemicals and fluoride etc it’s disgusting sort it out and your charging a hefty fee for this contaminated water..

Absolutely disgusting.

Waited weeks for water meter to be installed. Installation team never turned up on agreed day of installation. Surveyor turned up and said install team not coming…. They will be in contact in a few weeks. Not even a phone call before hand and put me to a lot of trouble. What a complete shambles of an organisation they are.

Spoke to a friendly and efficient emergency line operative called Paul Robinson who really put us at our ease. He is just the right combination of reassurance and friendliness and he dealt with our concerns swiftly. We live in the National Park and care for my 100 year old Father-in-law, and whenever we have not been able to access water, an emergency supply has been left on our doorstep within an hour. We have had problems with getting water via the taps in our house, at least three times in the last five years, and we've been kept informed by either phone or email until a successful conclusion to the problem. THANK YOU WELSH WATER 😊

Poor company. Bill increases and estimated bills. My last bill covering the last 5 months was over £550, there's only two people in the property. In very small print it said "we estimated your meter reading" Other utilities show this much more clearly on their bills. Once I realised I phoned up with a meter reading and they has overcharged me by nearly £200 but the refund is going to take well over two weeks to reach me.... Hmmm. Couple that with leaks all over this area left running for months which clearly us bill payers are footing the bill for. If my wifi provider is poor I change, unfortunately you don't get that option with the water providers so they don't need to keep their customers happy.

I would just like to say thank you very much to Welsh Water I had a medical problem and they have been very very helpful and I can't thank them enough

Water meter leak discovered last November. Received a bill for £1300+. As it was their meter I refused to increase my direct debit, I have always been in credit with the company so said happy to increase my payments once the leak was repaired and my account returned to the level it was in May, £25 in credit.
6 months later leak repaired and account adjusted to £40 in debit and payments doubled.
I agreed to pay an increase of 70% but asked if my balance could be returned to the previous level.
I'm afraid computer said no! Absolutely no idea regarding the meaning of customer service.

I called up Welsh Water to change my bank details for direct debit payments. I have been paying around £55 monthly payments for my property. Just after I have made changes to the payment details, I receive an email saying that my direct debit payment is £85 per month from now. I called up today to enquire about this and they said it could have been an mis calculation. No apology whatsoever from them and they didn’t take ownership for the issue. Still waiting for a confirmation to see if this has been sorted.

Disgusting company. Changed our meter as part of their "routine operational programme". Everything was fine before the install and now we have a leak over 200 litres per hour outside our boundary. This disgusting company have told us we are responsible for the repair and the lost water since the install. How it's allowed to operate i don't know.
