We have a number of support services available if you or your loved one has a hearing difficulty or is deaf. Our priority assistance programme allows you to tell us what support you need and how we can make things a little bit easier. When you complete the online form, you can select from a variety of services.

The services we can offer are:

  • You can nominate a friend or relative to receive your bills on your behalf. We’ll set them up as your ‘nominee’ so they can help manage your account.

  • ​Our website chat function gives you direct access to our billing and faults teams. You can chat with them online about your account or any water outages in your community.

  • ​The Relay Assistant service allows an operator to act as a bridge between you and our team when communicating over the phone. Customers type their queries on a home terminal and the Relay Assistant will relay those queries to our team. The system gives you or your loved one the ability to communicate with our team over the phone.

  • You can choose to be notified of water outages in your area, and you can also select to have bottled water delivered to your home free of charge during outages. That way, you're never without water.​

Take 5 and tap into your water footprint?

We should all treat water as precious and conserve it when and where we can. Did you know, it takes less than five minutes to find out what your water footprint is and where you can make changes to your household water use. If you're saving water, you're reducing your water footprint and saving money.
