Terrible company

Increasing prices while cutting back on repair services. Terrible experiences any time I need to phone them, just get put through to a foreign call centre who cannot help in any way.
Almost 1/3 of my bill is going directly to interest on loans, yet they report a £6bn debt.
Appaling company, classic case of rinsing the public for profit for owners and shareholders

Excellent Service

I contacted customer services to discuss a number of queries regarding my water usage on a meter. I spoke to a lovely young lady who was very helpful and went above and beyond to answer my questions and offer advice. 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ service from this member of the team!!

The staff on the phone

The staff on the phone, can't remember her name but she was very knowledgeable, friendly and seemed to care. I have been with Yorkshire water in the past and can not fault them in any way. Also for it being 8am on a Sunday they were 10/10 and if all your staff are like the lady I spoke to you will never have anything to worry about in the future. Thanks Stuart Paxton
