No rush to repair water leaks

Still increasing water prices to cover massive foreign debts and shareholders profits, but can't fix a water leak that I reported in the middle of a carriageway over a week ago.
Absolutely useless company, CEO should be arrested for fraud!

Excellent customer service

Spoke to two customer service people today regarding a billing issue. Both were really personable and friendly. Even the music playing between the two conversations was tollerable.

Yorkshire Water sent me an exorbitant estimated bill…

Yorkshire Water sent me an estimated bill for a period less than a month for my one bed flat in Sheffield which was empty for that period and the estimated meter reading was for 10 Cubic Metres which is 10000 litres. This is the amount of water that can fill up a normal swimming pool. This is why I had to lodge a complaint. Fortunately the complaints department manager, Vicky was brilliant and immediately rectified the bill and sorted the problem. It is thanks to Vicky that I did not lodge a formal complaint with Offwat.

Robbing people blind

I've been Very disappointed in this company for many years, I've struggled many years with mental health too and I've just recovered from the latest episode, and after trying to change the date of my water payment back in march, to which I thought I'd done, now I've got a bill, I was told to phone up and ask for help as I'm on benefits, they told me if they gave me help my bill would go up, what? Really? So back in December 2025 my monthly payment was £19, then for some reason the January 2026 payment jumped up to £31 that's a £12 increase and it's not even the new tax year yet, so because the direct debit I set back up in march didn't work, I've now got a bill, so to set a direct debit back up it's going to cost me nearly £50 a month, I don't think so, I never asked for the water to be pumped into my house, I'm not paying the bill, so I suggest u come and cut it off as I will not be paying it
