Report a leak:
Before reporting any leak, you need to have the following 3 pieces of information at hand:
1. Note the exact location of the leak (postcode / street name / village)
2. Type of leak (pool of water, trickle down street, flowing stream, like a fountain)
3. Your contact details (we only require these in case we need to phone you back)
Once you’ve got all these details, please call our free leak line number on 0800 57 35 53.
Who’s responsible for a leak?
1. Inside your property – you’re responsible for the maintenance of the plumbing inside your premises, for example water pipes, water tanks and overflows.
2. Outside your property, but still on your land – you’re also responsible for the pipework from the boundary of your property up to where it enters your premises.
3. Outside your property boundary – if the leak is outside your property boundary and on our water pipe (pipes in roads, footpaths and the pipe that leads up to your property boundary) then this is our responsibility.
