Service snapshot | Q1, April to June 2026
Posted: 13 November 2026
Every day we supply over half a million homes with clean, fresh water through a network of 6,000km of pipes. We believe it’s important our customers know how well we’re doing, so we’ll share how we’re performing with you regularly.
- On average customers lost just 34 seconds of supply between April and June. While this is higher than earlier in the year, supply interruptions remain low overall.
- Fewer than one customer in every 1,000 has contacted us about the taste, smell or appearance of their water – demonstrating consistently high standards of water quality.
- We’ve taken over 17,000 water quality samples. This helps us maintain high standards and ensure customers continue to receive safe, high-quality drinking water.
- We have continued to repair and maintain our water network to help prevent bursts and minimise disruption to customers. We completed 22.7km of network repairs from April to June.
- We repaired over 1,300 leaks between April and June, helping to reduce water loss and maintain a reliable water supply for customers.
- Over 132,000 customers are registered on the Priority Services Register, ensuring additional support is available to customers who need it most.
- Almost 80,000 customers currently benefit from financial support through one of our affordability schemes.
- More than 7,750 water meters were installed between April and June, part of our Water Resource Management Plan to encourage water efficiency.
- Customer complaints have continued to fall, from 362 in April to 318 in June. This reflects ongoing improvements to customer service and operational performance.
