Bill or sewer problem to raise? Start your complaint through our complaint process and we push it out to Wessex Water by email, social media and printed letters.

To report sewer flooding or a blocked public sewer, contact Wessex Water straight away on its emergency line, give the address, what has flooded and when it started, and note the reference number. Wessex Water is generally responsible for public sewers and shared drains, while a drain that serves only your property is usually the owner's responsibility. Photograph the flooding and the damage before the clean-up, keep receipts for cleaning and repairs, and tell your home insurer as well.

A dated record of each flooding event matters if it happens again.

If a Wessex Water bill looks too high, check whether it is based on an estimated reading: compare it with a dated photo of your meter and send Wessex Water the actual reading. A sudden rise on a metered account can point to a hidden leak, so turn off every tap and watch whether the meter keeps moving. If the bill is right but hard to pay, ask Wessex Water about payment plans and its support for customers on low incomes or with high essential water use, and ask whether a meter would lower an unmetered bill.

Keep every agreed payment plan and every corrected bill in writing.

Yes: in England, the Dispute Resolution Ombudsman (DRO) runs the water adjudication scheme for household customers in dispute with a participating water company, and Wessex Water Services Limited is one of them. The DRO generally expects Wessex Water to have had the chance to put things right first, so keep a record of every call, letter and reference number.

No. Wessex Water says it never asks for bank details or payments by text, and criminals can fake the sender name so a scam text looks like the real thing. Its genuine texts cover supply interruptions or replies to a problem you reported, and calls pressing you to pay a water bill straight away are another known trick.
