Hi Mrs Barnes,
I'm sorry to hear you were disappointed with our service. Ofwat regulate the charges water companies can levy and as an IWNL customer, we guarantee that your charges will be no higher with us than they would be if you were being supplied by the regional water supplier. Our charging scheme for your area can be found on our website. www.iwnl.co.uk.
Thanks,
Rhys

Awful company, hurt and disappointed
Awful company. Had 2 occasions now where I have been left with no running water for over 12 hours and being a single parent with a young child this is simply unacceptable. No apology issued or compensation. When trying to call customer services they had just disconnected the phone lines so you can't get through.

My opinion is about their customer services
My opinion is about their customer services. They have helped us even when we called 5 minutes before closing and the patient lady helped us through the phone to set up our new account and direct debit. I asked lost of questions and she kindly replied. I have called in 2 opportunities and in both cases they have answered quite fast each time, which is great and no other companies give at the moment, usually long waiting times on the phone for any service company. So far so good. Hopefully everything will be alright with our contract with IWN.
