Levels of Service for water and sewerage-related service

In 2015, Water UK published a set of standards for all water companies to adhere to when dealing with household developers/owners regarding the provision and level of service for water and sewerage-related services.

background

Our performance 

Since July 2015, Water UK has been reporting monthly on the performance of water companies and their ability to complete tasks within defined periods. You can find more details of this on Water UK's website: www.water.org.uk/

All water companies must provide monthly updates and can be audited on the details provided. This measures the level of service for water and sewerage-related services across companies. This data provides transparency about performance and helps to improve standards of delivery to developers, self-lay providers (SLPs), and new appointees (NAVs). These standards also form part of the government initiative to publish levels of service for all utility providers.

Southern Water’s performance of water-related services includes:

  • Pre-development enquiries
  • New water supply connections quoting and execution
  • New water mains estimating and constructing
  • Self-lay application processing
