Need a New Water Connection?

If you’ve simply moved premises, you don’t need a new connection (if one is already available), although you may change your retailer if you like.

Retailer Hub

Below is a list of retailers you can choose from. You can contact them directly or complete the Customer Enquiry Form to ask some, or all of the retailers on the list, to get in touch with you. All business customers, regardless of their sector, size or water usage can switch their retailer.
